    Big boats cost a LOT to move fast. Small boats don't handle chop as well. It's a good size all around.

                        No Prob.
                        If 19% is no good. I can do the math to increase or decrease the size. LMK

                            I think you are right on. Will you PM me something to base the design off.

                                    Because it's wider, which is better
                                    Those measurements are based on 19% smaller than the H&M M1 supercat.
                                    Bigger than the M1 Supercat S, Smaller than the M1 Supercat
                                    Sounds good. I was just thinking a little bigger to handle chop better, but I like you thinking on this one!!!!

                                        Making a prototype by hand...then molds of it...I'll be lucky to get it right. I do not have any access to any modern automated CNC's, so, spring is really pretty optimistic.

                                                I'll do my best to make it a little quicker.

                                                    Ahhh, been there done that... Find a shop. your giving yourself time to do it. get them cnc'd. buy a vacuum bag system or find a vacuum table somewhere. Its worth it . believe me its worth it.

                                                        Take your time. I can wait till spring or summer. What are you modeling it after?

                                                            I just checked out the SuperCat. It's a pretty advanced design. At this scale do you think the design will still allow for the dual motor design? I think maybe it will be too tight to get the motors into the sponsons. LMK

                                                            I also don't know if I'd get the wing right. I'd probably substitute a 1/10th scale buggy wing made of lexan for my design.

                                                            Does anyone have access to a cnc that would like to help me work up the prototype?
