    I was thinking offshore with real X cat looking outboards. I was taking a shot across your bow Ray. Haha. In your defense, we don't have offshore in IMPBA. I already wrote it up for our guys.

      I think he could've made offshore distance.. I'm not a fan of the 4 minute offshore.. I think the courses should be bigger and just run 6. To 10 laps

          Haha. That's funny. I presented a number if proposals to the gang yesterday. Among them was an 8 lap offset offshore.

              Our offset has the far pin, a left at the start line and then another hair pin on the front side of the course. Its pretty darned cool.

                Mike, how tough would it be to spit out a limited size of this? A 32 to 34 range would apeal some of us. There is a void there too. The best cat in that range is off the menu for some of us.

                    Wow, just saw all the posts. Lets get the 40" version finished first, then we will move to a smaller one. I am to far along to abandon the 40" right now. I suspect a 55" version will come down the road too for the big MHZ lower units.

                          I could see our club running a few P cats next summer. There's the Cheetah and the Skater and that's about it. I wont run Promarine so that leaves the Cheetah.

                          I have a Cheetah but don't love it. PLus Freddy nearly ripped the transom off of it. Still dangling. Maybe I'll have to go back and work on it.

                            Can you run the H&M Intruder in that class?

                              Intruder is too long for P. Jumps up to Q cat.

                                I've seen a couple of Mean Machines run pretty well as P ....

                                How can you not LOVE a Cheetah
