Look for a Twin Jet Cat build to start soon (complete in 2010)

Please do and use something like the 32" Agitator cat as a base to keep the costs reasonable. If you had to prepare a wishlist for such a project, what would it contain? I started a thread on this two days ago here on OSE, feel free to post there to keep this on-topic.

I must admit that is one SWEET looking drive.

[Diegoboy]

Those would make for one Spendy RC boat!

I honestly don't think enough of the sponson would be in the water for sufficent intake?

[Diegoboy]

Thanks.
I have thought about twin jets in a cat a while back, but I don't like the quality of the smaller Graupner jet drive and the smallest Graupner jet drive I do like, would make for a Huge cat, too big for me.

Diegoboy that's a sweet build!

I wonder if a catamaran could be powered with jets? Maybe 1 in each sponnson!!!!!

What??

The whole advantage of a jet boat is that there is nothing hanging below the hull to hit on the rocks.
Turn fins might not be a great idea.
On a pond turn fins yes.

I think for a white water application, I'd want turn fins, but I've never tried it!

[Jesse J]

Yes, I agree, this build should NOT be offshore contender, but restricted to treacherous white water racing.... new territory? I also wanna see that puppy tear up some rapids, whoever owns it. May not even need turn fins for this app?

[Diegoboy]

Thank you.
My thanks to you was mostly about the placement of the hole in the hull (before it was too late) It was greatly appreciated

Hey Diego;
It looks great and runs better. I am surprised it balanced so well with the motor so far forward.
You are welcome on the water pickup, always available for hot tips.
So now you know it runs lets see some white water video
Or you could just sell it to Doby.
Good Job;
Viking

Go for it water camel! They're fun to build.
