Twin SV Powered Cat

[rearwheelin]

another reason I'm leaning towards this hull is the extra room to place twins in..
should be much easier to work on..

A-lot more room, a truely nice catamaran.

Good stuff Jesse thanks..
a Mystic would be sweet.
I do like the looks of this one..

the hull to me looks kinda like a bigger MM

The Team Believer has identicle sponsons as the Sprint Cat the difrence in the two is the upper half. Handling is almost the same, only aerodynamics over the hatch is diffrent. I would go with the T.B. , pleanty of build room for a twin, S.C. you will wish your hand were smaller !

I have the Jessy James and it would be a little big for what you are wanting to do. I run mine on 10S2P and it is a rocket. Have you thought about the Scat Cat 33?

The Team Believer is 36" long and should work great
the Scat Cat looks like I would have a hard time getting twins into it..

Fair enough - Lucky you to be racing... can't wait to be in an area with a club (or be in an area long enough to establish one). I will be making them out of light ply, great stuff foam and heavy glass in the future; I haven't had one rupture yet (but I may not be achieving the speeds you are Matt).

Thus illustrating another point - objectives.

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).

I actually go for performance first, looks second, ugly boats can still win races :P
I once built a Balsa cat with light glass over it, and man, was it fast, til it blew over at 50+ mph and ended up as splinters, I built a replacement for that boat out of ply and then won the club champs with it, I now wouldn't build out of balsa for FE,

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.

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.

[Brushless55]

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

[crabstick]

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

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.

[Brushless55]

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

[tiqueman]

Brushless, hows the gas hull?
