H&M Maritimo v H&M M-1 Supercat

[arrowskartax9]

Hello, Can any one advise me of what is the best combo.
H&M single drive Maritimo or Twin drive M-1 Supercat.
The Maritimo is an artr from Hydro and marine and the supercat has twin
Konotronic Kira 650/17 and has all the best electronics and hardware.
Any ideas as what to go for??

The Maritimo is more scale and very nice boat but quite difficult in handling-turning at speeds over 40 mph. The M1 is wider and should be easier in handling.

Does the wing work or is it just for show on the m1 supercat.

[JMSCARD]

Wing is just for show mostly... I still haven't even put mine on.... my m-1 supercat handles superb....

heres mine during testing....terrible vid but you get the idea...

Im a abit confused.

the Super cat! better all around hull IMHO

[arrowskartax9]

What is better about the supercat than the maritimo???

[Flying Scotsman]

A way better handling hull due to it's design, if you are into SAW running the Maritimo may be your choice.

Maritimo or supercat? To be used a sport boat.

Chris,

Mate its really up to you.
Like the boys are trying to tell you.
The Maritimo is more of a straight line speedster . Long and narrow.
The M1 is wider and more stable a ride.

Now if it was my choice . I think you already know the answer.

M1 would be my choice.
I've build a Maritimo single-drive for a "customer".
81 mls/h.
Boat is now at my place for the 3d time, for repair :-)
The M1 has more room inside, to work in, in case of crashes :-)

[H2OCamel]

For a sport boat which I take to mean a great all around boat that is more forgiving to drive It is the M-1's wider stance for more stability in high speed turns, more room for the fun "stuff" inside that would be my choice.

Hydro Marine Maritimo is like scale 1 boat Supercat is not bat

So now i have my target speed (81 mph).

I think the M12 will be faster. built for the crashes.
Only time will tell.

Gee Gerwin,
3rd time repairs , whats up with that mate.
