How to power this cat?

[Steven Vaccaro]

Sometimes a picture just doesn't describe a item. So was the case when I bought this cat. In my mind I was thinking one thing when I saw it online and pulled the trigger to buy it but when it came in the door in a box that was longer and wider than my Fedex guy, I realized this thing is huge!! The pictures show it next to a Genesis.

So to the point, I'm wondering how you big boat builders would power this?

That was one of the original plans if I went single. But the size and surface area of this boat is far more that I anticipated.

What I was thinking is that if I an get an honest 2500-3000 watts consistent out of each motor that would push the boat plenty fast.

I was going to do the SD single until I could afford twins... but your right Steven, when you get it in your hands, single drive just isnt right. Now Im half way there.

What are the specs on that hull? that thing is beastly to say the least.

Id rekon your "plenty" will end up ballistic fast.
