im undecided between these 2 cats! i have a deadline by marc 15 to order a hull. the first is an expresscraft thundercat and the second is an aeromarine avenger pro. im leaning alot more towards the expresscraft TC because the dude from aeromarine NEVER ANSWERS! but there are some other vendors however some have been a pain to actually get answers from. i just need to know if anyone has any opinions about the hulls listed as far as performance,history and quality. thank you.
which catermeran is better?

The Thundercat is a huge boat at 58 inches. Over a foot longer than the Avenger Pro. I checked the gas boards and could'nt find too much info on the Thundercat. Remy builds great handling cats and his boats have the records to prove it. The Avenger is a great boat. The Aeromarine Conquest is probably a little better. It's based on the Avenger but has a little more down force so it's less likely to blow over. It also holds current IMPBA GAS SAWs and ovals records.Mike Chirillo

If you want to run in really rough water, then get the Expresscraft hull and realize it will be a bit slower due to its size. If you want to race on slightly smoother water, the Conquest is probably the "best" 10S cat hull to use. Several club members run them and they are great.
There have been many threads about how poor Aeromarine is at answering e-mails. But phone calls - you almost always get a good answer to your questions. Choosing a big hull based on the manufacturer's e-mail ability is like choosing a brain surgeon based on how hot his receptionist looks......

Is he the guy that speaks on the recording about try calling again later? If so, I have called him for 3days about 40 times per day and nothing. Tom from expresscraft texts me back to back regarding any question I have. I do love am cats though, just cant deal with people that I cannot communicate with. I guess the TC is my choice.If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?Comment
