    DF33 or similar hull or 42" cat

    Several of the guys in our local club are running the DF33 hull. I am thinking of building one to run against these guys. Outside of the DF33 the only other comparable hull that I know much of anything about is the Seaducer 33. What other hulls are out there that I might consider?

    My other option is to buy and build a 42" cat hull that is available right now for a great price.

    Microburst, Titan 40, Rico and H&M No Step come to mind.

      Im running a titan 40 and love it. A guy in our club Paul Rollins has a DF 33 and Speeds are pretty equal. Dad Titan 29 is faster but cant stay in the throttle in race water as much.

        Yeah she's a bit loose, and I like it like that!!

        Loose if fast, you just have to manage the throttle. I'm still learning.

              I have a titan 29 and a df 33. I have got them both into the upper 40s mph. The df is much more stable, the titan seems to want to fly at that speed. Both are great boats and a lot of fun to drive.

                          I've never known you to be a mono guy but it would be nice to have one more to race.
                          I say build the twin cat our club is lacking something insane right now
                          The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.
