Status: offline 		Hi guys after been unindated for these plans i aquired for free off the net a friend has made them available for download so heres the links for you.Theres a tiled version and the untiled version too.There may be a few bits missing from the tiled ones but nothing too important its still a good set of plans and very useable.The untiled ones are complete but the orriginal was designed for electric so some parts arent needed maybe,anyway have a look and enjoy them.

Status: offline 		Taylor this hull runs very well ive seen one run on video and plenty of pics and the boat handles very well apparently.If yours didnt run well then all i can asume is you didnt build it well enough .Ive spoken to the guy who built the one in this thread and his runs well according to him with a zen 260.I see no reason why this hull wont run well and i plan to build one at some point.

Status: offline 		Build boats well enough? I highly doubt that Have you build this boat?
The plans are rather vague and "old school" alot things left out
Personally the boat was to wide and had to much compression at the stern. It would lift the stern out of the water and run very wet.
cats are my forte`

Status: offline 		Didnt mean to offend you but i dont see any reason this hull wont run well looking at the plans,i dont see where the plans are vague to be honest they are what they are bulkheads and rails etc all pretty self explanitry id say.Old school? maybe so whats wrong with that? theres plenty of people building cracker boxes ,how many hulls have you built from scratch yourself out of interest?.I have posted these plans for people to download for free as ive had litterally 30 to 40 people ask me for them in the past year.Let them decide if they want to build it and then maybe we can get some feedback on it?,ive talked at length with the builder of the one i linked and his runs pretty well.He didnt design the plans but did make some changes to the design,maybe they helped who knows.

Status: offline 		maybe he should post some plans of his own design if he feels he can do better ,i dont see any other free cat plans available anywhere ? im just trying to help by making available what people wanted.if when they get them they dont like them then they dont have to build it its that simple.it would be good if taylor made available one of his cat plans and lets see how much better his are that would be nice.

Status: offline 		hey martno1fan i think it is great you put plans out there if they are good or bad i am taking interest in this because my friends kid is wanting to get into the hobbie and he does not have the money to buy a kit so i am going to download the plans for him and we are going to look at them it see if he can give it a try Thank you this is the kind of thing we need to get younger people into the hobbie

Status: offline 		no worries mate this is the reason ive put them here,the plans arent my design nor did i have anything to do with its design.these are plans i got for free off the net and as lots of guys keep asking for them i thought why not post an uplink ,thanks to bbmods who did this for me as im no computer whizz .If you feel the tiled version isnt complete enough you can allways take the other pdf version to a print shop and they will print them to size for you.check the link out to the build thread on that dutch forum its usefull even if its just to look at the pics but you can get the pages translated if you have the software to do it?.

Hummmm ... by the pictures , it sure does not look like it runs too wet to me ?
Wondering if someone who is complaining did indeed , build this himself ?
the nice thing about FREE plans , is just that ... they're free . AND , you COULD always alter it if you think something is wrong with them .

Very kind and thoughtful of you MARTNO1FAN for posting those plans for others .
Kudos .
