Looks like an enlarged Rivercat/ HOTR/ Apparition etc

[Gimp]

Ben is one busy bee. Looks like that 75-100mph bubble will be a little easier to reach now

[siberianhusky]

That 34" Cheetah looks interesting! Wonder what the width is, listed as an offshore racing cat.
Too many boats to build, not enough time or cash!

[LarrysDrifter]

Nice. Of course, I "need" one. Like everything else.

[jevmax]

What changes were made to the hull design to make it more stable at extremely high speeds?

yup, most important, not enough $$$$ both are nice lookin hulls though. I believe the Cheetah is very simialr in hill design (below water) tot eh Sprintcat which is goign to make it a damn fine race boat.

Kinda wish the Fantasm was an inch shorter though, 41 puts it one inch out of Q class

No idea.... just looks bigger to me.

[T.S.Davis]

It's not just a bigger Rivercat. Bottom is different.

I'm already in line for one.

I don't know about that 100mph bubble. I'll be turning laps with it as soon as our season gets rolling again.

[tiqueman]

Emailed ben but haven't heard back yet. Any idea what changes were made? In a previus email I asked if it was just an enlarged riverct/ apparition etc. His reply "you got it. Apparition/ fantasm"

[Make-a-Wake]

That would be a good fit for a 1717 on 6s2p....................60mph.

[iamandrew]

Wonder what the width would be, might be a nice upgrade for people who have the gensis and want to run twins and have some room to actually fit the motors in!

got a reply back from Ben on the Fantasm

quoted from email

ME What hull changes were made on the fantasm

BEN size

ME so no design changes.. just bigger

BEN Yep. Was nothing we wanted to change. Lol...

[T.S.Davis]

I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about the Cheeta

[ray schrauwen]

I like the Cheeta for laps too.

[Boaterguy]

What changes were made to the hull design to make it more stable at extremely high speeds?

the cheetah has wider sponsons and a deeper tunnel for better rough water.
the fantasm has an overhang on the back.
should we hold a contest to see who can get their fantasm/ cheetah built first? (im in with twin T600's on the fantasm)

[siberianhusky]

LOL another big paper weight!
