I build the 72" skater. Check it out at www.classonerc.com. I'm building an FE version now with the help of some people in the know.
Handled most conditions very well.
Let me know if I can help out.

The Lightning Cat is around 48" long and the Thunderbolt is 50". Very reasonably priced although they are bare white hulls when you get them.
I'm thinking of the Thunderbolt for a twin Castle/Neu 1717 powered cat as my next build.
I haven't seen (in person) the GTX hull but my friend milfiebre has both the 60" MTI cat and the monster 72" Apache hulls from him. The glass work is great on both of them.
The MTI is running the screamer marine on 10s with a SF 240 hv. The Apache is still waiting on his wallet to recover for powering it. His plans are for at least twin screamers or maybe even 3 in it.
I have a Expresscraft cat. I will put up pics when i get home to showe you. I will let it go cheep.
Send them my way!!!!!!!
ok here it is 60" long. it's big
I would like to get $110 out of her.

Has anyone ran a 40'' DF mono in some decent chop? May have a chance to buy one.
Anyone?
I saw one run today and it took a lot of power to push it nicely.
What was it running? Was it a df 40"?
a df40 mono with a 1527 NEU is good for low 60's a 2215 to the 70's and a 2230 to the 80's.....

Think about that by scale. How may speed boats do you see in 12 foot waves? 1/10 scale, do the math; 50" boat simulating a 50' boat, so a 12" wave would be a 12' wave.
It get's pretty desolate here at the inlet when the waves get up to 6' or more and certainly aren't any regular boats doing 50mph in 6' chop.
I've been working on a gasser for this very thing, but speeds in the 40ish range and room for lots of acceleration and part throttle running. On/off the throttle constantly to adjust to rapidly changing water conditions. I've boiled it down to the Express GTX or Aeromarine Apache. Again both in the 60 inch range and gas as there will be TONS of throttle manipulation and runtime's needed in the 20-30 minute range.
Any vids of the DF 45".

Each of these guys has +/- $3000 on the water
Well, it is a fact. That's why he'd say that..
HPR115 x2 ,Dark Horse Shovel, Delta Force CyberStorm, Delta Force Sniper 23-RTR:
It's even stated here. http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=df-sniper, I know it is stated for the DF41 as well but it is not a true deep vee.

When will the df 45" be back in stock?
Still looking!

Look at last two post in this thread, is this anythng like what you are looking for?
The 40" is a mid vee. The 52" is a true 24 degree deep vee design with a sharp entry, eats rough water.
