    Taylor,

    You're probably way ahead of me on this, but as I look at your sponson running surfaces they seem really wide. Great for handling, but lots of drag which'll need bunches of power to keep the hull going at decent speed. I imagine you've got some narrower ride pads in mind to deal with this. Just for reference, here's four cat bottoms to check out :

                      Can't wait to see the finished project. Great to see someone applying newer FPR techniques to build models. Resin infusion can save a bit of weight during lamination and you are better able to control your resin to glass ratio. Learned these technique building custom sportfish boats that had to be light,strong ,and fast.
                      In boat racing it's not how fast you can go, it's how long you can go fast
