Terry,
Piece of advice. These 10s Cats are Beasts. Mine weighs 20lbs. 10kmah and a lehner 3080 with a schulze 40/334..Popped the Swordfish 300. Pulls 280 amps
at 70 plus. (No way you can race at that speed BTW. The boats just can't handle the chop created at that speed. (Just for your comparison my Gas R42 weighs in at 14 pounds and does 65mph and likes to fly!)
They ain't cheap and when they stuff at 70 bad things happen. But you know that. I love the looks of the R42 but it would be nice if he reinforced the hull with Carbon fiber in some key spots to strengthen it. I cracked mine and reinforced it after.Comment

I raced a Stryker F-41 and my current A/C R-42 and trophied against gas cats. Club members have raced Conquests and Avengers with good success, although the Avengers are pretty flighty. I have yet to see a Stryker T44 run well, most who traded in their F-41s for the T44s want them back. Insanes were popular for awhile, the Stryker T44 is a shameless copy therof. The Blast Cat runs great in rough water but it won't 'come on' in smoother water with those big pads blocking all the air to the tunnel. The Seaducers I have seen run were okay, but they look pretty silly.
My F-41 ran well but weighed 21 pounds with a 3060 and 10S2P. I like the R-42 best, it handles very well, is fast enough and is very well built. Light too, I built mine 10S1P/6500 with a Neu 2215, it can do 7 laps plus mill easily. At under seventeen pounds it is close to gas cat weight too. Hatch looks funny but I live with that. I was going to go for a Conquest with the Avenger Pro hatch before the full coverage R-42 hatch came out. I'm happy.

It is a one off. I could build one and planned to. Just never got around to it.
This is a fun thread one of the things I tossed around a lot. I love the big boat it runs a 2230 1y on 10S2P Schultz 40.160. I can spin a X467 to a X455 depending on what I want to do. runs 67MPH with the gas dudes.Comment

I've been considering building one to race in open offshore.MODEL BOAT RACER
