central RC skater cat
hey guys,
im looking to start a new project and was interested in a mid sized cat hull. i saw the 53" skater on the central RC site and was wondering if anyone knew what kind of speeds i could be expecting if i put a mod zen in it pushing just under 5hp?
or if anyone else had hull suggestions im more than open! lets hear em' boys!

Thats a nice hull you could also look at expresscraft they have a thunderbolt thats pretty nice or Ray from recon boat works has a ballantine mantis they all should run pretty well with a single zen.

I built a thunderbolt for a friend of mine. First run with Gizmo GZ1 top end and standard Propshop 2714/3 ran 58mph on GPS. 60mph is not a problem with that hull and a good set-up!

BTW, I'm the guy throwing the boat in the water and put the video up.
Haven't run it yet with a GPS; we mainly race offshore in the rough so all out speed is not super important. I'll see if I can coax the owner to drop in a GPS the next time the water is calm.
