BobKat; save those scraps!!

[Avanti]

I used the octura OC4STR-CDA on my hydromite it worked great.

Advanti, I sent the plans out to be lazer cut. The plans don't include the skins, so you would have to make you own, and some basic other parts. What you see in his pics is what is in the plans, I think there is a little more in the plans then what you see here.

that is fine I can make skins no problem

that price is very competitive.
go buy a fullers unit or solinger..... its 100 bucks.

For micro hardware? I think there is a lack of micro hardware, but mhz sure looks nice!

[Avanti]

Joe has a great looking new micro rudder check out dr jets thread

[ace028]

Yeah, I thought about that after I posted above.

If I am correct which I am sure of, those plans started overseas.Then a guy named Shockerman from the redboard got them and gave them out to a fewand it has since expanded to alot of different versions.
I have built 4 of them in 4 different sizes all the way up to a 46 in gasser, running about 60 ish mph.
You can alot of ideas from my builds.
Here is a link to my thread here to show examples. If interested look up my build thread on the red foum(rum runners), called the bc 36

Good luck and have fun it is a nice set of plans...

[Eyekandyboats]

i have the original set of these plans already laser cut as well as skins.
i also have my set which is changed as well. with many changes i would find to be a improvement.

[peells]

That is some great information, I am already in the process of making more mods to these plans but the over all shape should remain intact, and yes I am planning on making skins as well, So it sounds like you guys are well versed in scaling up and down with plans, are any of you ACAD operators? that is what I do all day long and then I play with the boats.

[Avanti]

I am CAD certified, but decided I did not want to make a career out of it. I think they were only on ACAD 4 when I was in school.

[peells]

Yea when I started it was 2000, and now it is 2008 I have been keeping up with the times, and I was forced to make a carrer of it due to major back surgery on the L3-L4 so here I am. (and Avanti I will be emailing you soon)

[ace028]

Any updates?

[peells]

yea but nothing to take any pics of, I have been tweaking the drawings around some, and making some new refinements fine tuning the transom I may not run one I might just double up the last bulkhead and have a in set at the back like the pictures show, not sure yet what I m going to do. but it will be really cool what ever it is.

[ace028]

You might have to use some of that cool orange paint I bought when you get that far. I kind of like how it is now, but I also like how on the off shore cats, there is a extention on the transome for the rudder, I think that is only in twin setups.

cleaning out the old scrap box

Well guys here is more photos of the little bob kat I am tired and am going to bed you guys enjoy ok,
I added some extra support around the edges for the skin to hang on to since the original plans did not address this issue, so I did!! and I also added some horizontal support to the sides so if by chance I crash (which none of you guys have ever done) it wont spring any leaks, so with out any further chatter from me

More pics

Here are a few more
