    There is no way you could own a ul-1 and say that statement.

      I really wanted a river cat originally. But I came across a serious deal on my cheetah I couldn't pass up. I'm not sorry I got the cheetah either. I love it. Its a badass boat. I just have a craving to go fast in a straight line. I've always liked going straight and fast. I've had drag cars and now I have a sand drag 4 Wheeler and I want a fast boat.

        I think you are on the right track.

              If you would consider a built boat (hull and hardware), I have a Fightercat 32 that's my back up SAW boat that I'm thinking of selling. Not a scratch on this boat. This is a specialized boat that is set up for a Neu motor, is very nose heavy to get the CG up to about 40% and has a shortened rudder. It turns like crap but I built I've taken it's brother to 95+ on a official course. I'll give you more details if you are interested. If not, the FC32 can do it as Tony and I pointed out. But it will take allot of work to get her running fast without getting destroyed in a blow over.

Well the most expensive stuff. Think I'm going to run a 1515 castle with a fightercat 240a ESC on 6s.
                You could absolutely go fast with that Daytona hull too...
