Is this worth it

I was thinking leopard 4092 1480kv (twin) 6s with stingers using swordfish 220 amps or 240s.

Could you guys give me your opinion on the sprint cat 42 of you have owned one or currently do ?

Since the feedback here sucks ATM, I don’t think you would go wrong with the Sprint Cat. There are a race boat so will handle the race water when setup right. Handling would be similar to my BlownAway.
You should do good with the motors you stated. Maybe go with the 240 ESC’s so you have room to go to 7s later(speed gets addictive)

Speed is a drug

I noticed that most people run this hull in parallel would it be okay to run with two 5s in series. This is for the single setup btw.

This depends on how long you need to run. I ran my AC R-42 on a single Neu 2215/1Y with twin 5S/6600 mAh packs in series. My goal was to build a “lightweight” T Cat to compete against the gas boats in Open Cat. It was plenty for seven race laps with a one lap mill running in the low/mid-60s.

The boat placed third at a World’s race in 2013(?) racing against over 25 gas boats. If you insist on propping up to get speeds into the high 60s/low 70s then you will want more pack capacity if you race the boat.

You know what I just want to make this thing hit 80 + any suggestions on setups

I’m thinking your above setup would be good or even just 4050’s should do it. Maybe around 1550/1600 kV if you wanna stay with 6s. My R42 does 80 easy with slightly more aggressive props.
CG at 35% for greater than 70.
Did you end up getting a hull?

I was gonna get it this week but college work called.
