35 i/o in your trademark superlight setup.


This is a size guys can afford, haul around , store etc.

Continuing the "light" theme Id then run twin ilmor 725's with indy drives.

A 35 I/O, built by you would be huge.

Would this be a V or a Cat?

Crazy question maybe. What would the proper overall width be on a 32 or 35 for best performance? Would towing be an issue with the 8.5 freeway max?

The first Cheetahcat was 9 feet with the tunnel I had in that boat to make it work.

don't think you could build a legal width 35' or bigger. most 30' and 32' are a tad over 8'6" which is legal max.

I have the original drawing on a wall here in my office,Just walked over with a scale and it can be done.

This boat was street legal.Steve2 needs to give this old design a once over.

I did not touch the tunnel and bottom just rolled the sides in and lowered the freeboard.

 

[Steve 1]

The mentality was like a funny car chassis you could put any body on it and this came off the original fixture.

how wide is the tunnel on the 10m?

Thanks guys I will post more.

OK,,, where is it?

Do you have a rendering?

Cosmic , that is a very good question Steve 1 & 2 i have been lurking a wee bit on this thread and does the poll decide on what boat to build next........... or is that a stupid question because there is already a boat in the makings .

Steve , just curious how much wider do you think you could go and still be safe ?

we are using this poll as guide lines, nothing can be built until we know the power and more about the layout as everything changes from the bottom on up in a effort to get the most out of the boat.

I'd love to see a 30' with a pair of 300 XS's.
