They became Stock Class World Champions

Where were you on this day?

Who's the idiot that put that video together? Terrible. The cat is smaller lighter and has a better power to weight ratio than the V. The Hustler did a great job keeping up with the cat, he's the hero.

The Cat was 36 feet with stock 200's in fact one power head was borrowed from a fishing boat.

I will finish the story.

The boat then went to the ME where it was undefeated for two years after which it then won the UIM Championship.

The “S” Class length was then made to 10 Meters (New UIM Rule) the Cheetahcat was like 11 so effectively banning the boat.

Cat Dude The video was given to me and I am thankful to the person who shot it.

Here is a picture of the hull shell after I pulled it from the fixture the Hustler could float in here.

I build moldless which was fortunate in that case as the power kept coming down I was able to adjust for it. My target was #1200

 

[stainless]
