ML Boatworks- XCat Catamaran design started. Looking for opinions!

So it sounds like there is a little bit of a market for a hull like this then?

[T.S.Davis]

I think there would be.

The only thing in the P range that's decent to race is the Promarine and the Cheetah. The Lucas and Blackjack are okay on limited but for P forget it. The AQ will explode on impact and the BJ gets weird turning at higher speeds. Skip skip role. The Promarine is strong in limited but a bit narrow for P. Still workable. Just requires a little finesse to finish. I don't do Promarine at all though. I already have a Cheetah. Those run great too but have to be shaved a tic to fit P. They're a little heavy too for my liking. Very very competitive with the right setup though. Mean Machine is killer for limited but is too small for P in my opinion.

For Q there is the Zelos but you're committed to twins at that point. Not sure I want to go to twins for sprint. Then there are the Sprint Cats from Aeromarine. Awesome boats but ugly as home made sin (sorry Sprint lovers). Other than those, nothing Q will turn at speed in race water.

IDK I feel like there is a gap. Maybe someone else can think of more cats to talk Mike out of this. Wait............no don't.

Well, I want one of these as a wall display no mattet what, so Im definately doing it! haha

You've got my interest Mike. I will be watching this build, likely would do an inboard single myself if I went this way. BTW any plans to stretch the rigger up to a 6S platform, that I would also be keen on. Great stuff!

[cybercrxt]

Hi Peter, Yes, I plan on doing a 38" version of my 31" 4s rigger in the near future. Plans are already started for that, and for a 2s rigger!

[Peter A]

Awesome, I am looking to do a 6S rigger next year. Pencil me in for a kit. May have to get a cat one as well to make the shipping down under worth it. See how it pans out.

Mike,
Love to see a 2S-3S rigger to compete with the JAE Mini Sprint. I'd buy one right now. A little bigger tub to fit a water cooled ESC more easily.

Yes I would love to build one! I have been thinking about doing a gas version for some time as well

Been pricing out what I need for a twin build, going to need to start robbing my kids piggy bank.

Twins, you better rob a real bank lol

[Jesse J]

Yes xcat is a beautiful idea and plan... I may succumb to yet another hull.

[cybercrxt]

Lol, Thumbs Up! haha

[rayzerdesigns]

yes on a 32-34 inch version for p class

[T.S.Davis]

yes on a 32-34 inch version for p class

With twin outboards. How bad ass would that be? Oh wait, I forgot you are limited to 5k per motor. It would work if your IMPBA.

[rayzerdesigns]

U can run sprint p cat with twins.. darin Jordan did it at this years nats.. he had plenty of speed and battery left
