here is another brand new boat, we just made. i blocked out the price for rcu's rules, these boats are carbon fiber and our very nice, and they will fit our already great lineup of big boats.

Congratulation for this and the 68 hull, i love big boats. I think the 68 looks more aggressive, by the way, how wide is it?  
But i wondered why no one makes a large scale hull of the fountain "Cat Killer", i wish to build it after the apache...
Good work!

our tomahawk is 17" wide at the widest point and 15" wide at the transom, this boat uses the same hull as our seahawk, and runs great, this is just a new deck and hatch, part of the problem is there are only a few guys out there making boats from there own plugs, most are copies of someone else s existing boat, so until one of the guys that make boats from scrach does the fountain bow on a big boat, there is nothing to copy,and that puts half of the guys making boats out of the running to make it, we would love to do one but we do well to keep up with building the 45 or so boats we already make, we are working on a big Doug wright cat, but plug work takes a long time, and brings in no money while you are doing it, then molds, then the boat. then you have to hope all work good, if not you change things and run it again, once you have it working well another mold is made,then another boat,and if it runs good you can start recovering your investment,and if its popular, it gets waxed up and copied,maybe a overhang on the back and some scoops added or a new deck and hatch like we did with our own seahawk, but either way this makes building new desighns for a already small market, pretty tough.

Well, it looks like my configuration, one s520 and 2 drives, great. Can i ask you where do you get the arrow shark z-drives? In their web site they show them as SOLD OUT, and i can't find them nowhere. thanks

check for vaportrails on ebay think he sells alot on there build looks good Tom how did you determine the drive hight im doing a similar build but i was going to have centerline of prop shafts level with bottom of the hull (65" Apache) your seem to be lower is that because of the stepped hull thanks

expresscraft

my website is expresscraft.com they are even with the bottom of the boat, it must just be the picture, the boat is a seahawk hull, but its a new deck, and we have 2 hatches for the new deck, one is a closed canopy and one is a open canopy.
