Twin SV Powered Cat

[Brushless55]

I have a question for you fellow boaters..
I have a few SV27's with extra parts in my Hobby room and thought about doing a twin SV powered cat..

I've thought about taking out the single setup in my MM and go twins but I would love to be in a 34" + size hull on 4s
so could you guys give me some ideas on a Cat that would be great for this build.
and links would be sweet!

Sprintcat!!! 34" Best handling cat ever!

Is that what's in your avatar?
got a link?

Yep, Steven carries the hull right here at ose!

[Rumdog]

It's listed as 36", but the hull is 34". 36 if you count tne turbine.

very nice Rumdog, thank you..
how do people think of a EKOS hull with twin SV power using the SV struts?

Id imagine the EKOS would be very close to the HOTR or Skunk hull. I think it would do quite well for you. Or any of the 3 of that type design.

I did own a EKOS and traded for a Gas KOS straight across..
that hull is very sweet looking!

[tiqueman]

Brushless, hows the gas hull?

[Brushless55]

I love it, but I need to get the setup or something set right..
I does not like high speed turns..

[tiqueman]

LOL thats EXACTLY what I was going to ask you. My Avatar is a 52" gas cat, runs fantastic in a straight line.. is a BJ26 turning.

Rumdog is right, the Sprintcat is a really great handling hull. The looks arent the best, but a new canopy isnt very hard to make

[Brushless55]

so what I read about the Sprintcat in several threads is ... it rocks!

[crabstick]

a very race proven design. Been around for a while and still good. My 41 inch jesse james with the RCMK evo in it basically just a sprintcat with a different deck.

As for hulls, my philosophy is be sure you really like to look at it. Handling is key, but if you don't love how it looks......

That is why I have balsa cats - can't afford the mystics or HPRs yet. Why not build a 36" balsa cat? you can modify the interior to take two motors (I have added a twin motor bulkhead to the plans).

It also depends on how much cash you have available vs. free time. You can build a balsa cat for $50-$75 in probably about 40 hrs including (rattle can) paint.
