    Default Why I love Cats...

    I love cats because they are easy to build, easy to tune and look cool on the water.
    Why do you like Cats...That's cats short for catamarans?

    I like cats because they don't need turn fins or trim tabs

    I don't like Cats! Scale Hydro's are where the action is. That being said I am going to run one (Hopefully) this year only because I wanted another boat and the price was right.

    I like cats because they look cool and the sound of them, sounds like a rocket on the water.

    I love cats because you can fairly predictably fly them. A lot harder to do with a mono (but I am going to try again).

    Cats cats cats and more cats.
    Meow. Oh wait we were talking about boats here.
    I like the look of some cats but not all.
    I think they look good on the water when at full tilt but nothing like seeing a hydro screaming around a course at full tilt and flying loose.

    You can show off killer graphics with a cat.

    How many people actually race those cats rather then make them look pretty and go in a straight line!?

    I can't but help think of a song with all this talk and posting about cats.

    WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!!
    Woof woof woof!

    A good read to decide which boat is best for you.

    It can also be mildly overdone...

    But when tuned properly some well designed and rigged hulls do air out nicely and basically fly

    Then again, often imitating their 4-legged counterparts they just silently lurk around , stalking their prey, before striking
