    Default Hobbyease Cats.

    A couple of cheap Hobbyease cats outrunning three Cheetahs at our club. Excuse my sloppy driving where I cut a couple of buoys.

    What is the actual length of the boat in inches? Sometimes they give you the length including hardware.

    Ray.
    From tip to transom is 31-1/2" & 14" wide.
    But I've just had this one delivered for our Offshore Cat class. It's 41" x 16-3/4"wide.
    Here it is next to the little one.

    The big one will be electric with a Castle 2028 Motor on 10s
    The only thing I did to the bottom of the hull was to lightly scuff all the shine off the gelcoat with some #400 grit paper. Same as I do to all my hulls. That just reduces a bit of drag.

    I think I had one of those or similar and traded it for a Cheetah with Tom C. In MI.
