    Sweet but my budget is blown with the 310 rigger. Then there's a certain motor I want to try... ;-)

    That thing is like the PayPak. Guys will lose their minds. Is it a scale?........not exactly. Does it fit the sport rules?..................not even close. Well, I'll run it in hydro...............and get killed.

    A 34" cat that turned wide open would be marketable. There are a lot of cats on the market at the moment to compete with but not for full P power. None can turn wide open. If you shave a Cheetah or a Sprint a bit you can get down to 34. Those are the only two that you can stay on the noisy button all the way through the turn. Everything else in that range is too narrow for open motors.

    All good points but i feel 34" would maybe be a tad it to big for 4s1p single motor racing unless u could keep it super lite. IMO 32" would be a much better size.
    I really like the look of the PromarineRC skater but unfortunately he won't sell hull only, which is a shame as he'd do well out of the racing community.

    I think if you shave the overhang off the nose of a Sprint you can get it down to 34"

    The Sprint is hideous IMO but they go like stink and turn on a dime. Literally a point and shoot boat. There's really nothing even close in performance thus far. The Cheetah is nice for P but the aero is a bit off for Q. Well for me at least it is.

    Here's mine.
