A german guy makes them himself.
Just as a hobby, so he can't make hundreds of them at once.
Available as from September.
Costs : bare hull : somewhere between 100 and 120 euro's.

Very very nice looking. So epoxy and glass layup, just no gelcoat finish? Not bad. 1 euro is $1.32 USD right now, so your looking at about $150 to $160 + delivery, so I would guess at under $200 USD delivered. Nice.

The last time I shipped a small mono to your side of the big pond, delivery was 25 USD.

Damn that a nice looking cat! Gerwin is there a waiting list for one of these hulls?? If so how long of a wait??

The first one he CAN make, is made next month.
It's just a hobby for him, so he doesn't want to feel the pressure to
produce them fast and in large numbers.
If someone is 100% sure of buying one, let me know, and i'll give you his emailadress.

btw : HOR-Ebay has a "scale rudder" for it.

Humm....very tempting to get a small size cat!! Let me think on this one! Thanks Gerwin.

hm, good question.
Looking at that pic, I think they are modified "powertrimm V"-s from MTC.

the other possibility , what almost everybody overhere uses on the smallest cats :

The part that's bolted on to the back of the sponsons is cut-down. And the part to adjust the angle must me DIY-ed

example :

[westbeach]

Doesn't MHZ makes a semi-scale drive for their small cats that might fir this hull?? I can't seem to find it on the US website. I thought that I have seen it before, but their products are usually pretty pricy. $$$$

[Gerwin Brommer]

Not that I know.

[Gerwin Brommer]

why not use this one, cut of the top and reverse the "shaft" of it ?

[westbeach]

Gerwin, what size flex shaft do they use in a small cat like that in Europe?Or do they? Are they readily available for counter rotating props??

[Gerwin Brommer]

Hydro&Marine sells 2.5mm flex , left&right.
3.2 mm flex l&R is also available.

the one on the pink background : 1.5 mm wire

Which one works better, the 67mm or 87mm? i was going to use a 67mm on the 18.5" and used one on my 22" 1/16 shovel, but it is small.
