Good work, I like the lines of her, the shape "appeals" to me

Best of luck with it. You must certainly be feeling a great sense of achievement having undergone all that work.

Please keep the pics coming

Nice job . Great talent there .

nvs motorsports

Thanks dana i would not call it talent ive been in boating industry for about 23 yrs now i think ive got an idea sometimes what im doing but then again i have my moments like most people

I built a nice stock 7.5 cc outboard tunnel once that soon as it hit about 40 mph it was a kite [&o]

i also have Skater and MTI in the works both around 50 inch single zenoah boats but they a fair way off

Feel free to ask any question guys

martno1fan

Very good looking cat, you do very nice work.

stuch

sweet cat dude. but how do you see it on the water with that color?

nvs motorsports

I see it easy with the rooster tail it throws up plus it in steath mode till i release it for general production an sale

Thanks for the great comments guy not many have laid eyes on her that why i put it on here call it a world wide sneak preview

I have already tested her quite a bit an sorted out any probs martno1 fan she handles well
only had stock zenoah in it now going mild mod to see comparisons

NICE !.. Looks like just the canopy lip needs soem buttoning down work, and should be a really nice runner

nvs motorsports

Yes new boat being built has new motor canopy this boat is prototype has temporary cover has needed a few changes to shape wilst building this canopy is usually held down by split pins but when got repainted had holes filled up will redrill an fit new pins boat should be finished again in a few weeks

nvs motorsports

what is everyones preferred way of mounting cowl o-rings or cowl locks or another way im open to suggestions

G Doggett

Nice looking cat mate.
Good to see an original design and not just another Sprintcat clone.
I know what you mean about the amount of work required to build your own hull, it took me 6 months to scratchbuild the plug for the Eurocat.
Keep those creative ideas coming.
I prefer minature cowl locks.
Graham.

BB Modss

PM me when there ready, Ill take one.

Dana W

I like the push button cam locks to help hold the cowl down .

Beautiful boat. Any pics of it running? Doug

nvs motorsports

Thanks g dogget like your cat also very soon i will have my new one starting proper build as the one shown here is my test mule
Im also tooling up a skater at the moment like the OSS Reliable Carriers boat shape
Then next project the Maritimo boat the original one that crashed not the tencara they have now

sorry no pics in water yet hard to hold camera an drive plus i only just got it painted it it was very average as a test pig

nvs motorsports

Sneak peak of mono that im doing same style deck as cat i have here but mono is 57 inch long

looks like fiberglass is your life man! have you ever worked with carbonfiber? If so when you start building the boats, if i send you the CF cloth would you lay one up for me in it?

nvs motorsports

Yes i work with carbon fibre just finished helping a friend fix a proper class 1 boat epoxy vacuum bagged also do car parts and build fibreglass fuel tanks for game fishing boats

Do you want it just for looks and a bit of strength or full on hardcore epoxy layup
i get carbon here fairly cheap no need to send
Eglass is a better layup with carbon bracing in epoxy but very labour intensive

BB Modss

I have lots of carbon fiber Id like it for looks, iv got some nice hexcel 3k 2 x 2 silver twill right now that looks stunning! Id like the first layer shine side down, and the second shine side up, reinforced in the middle, No need for super strong, as i said, i more or less want it for looks, id like it done to your cat hull.

thats laying on a cali king size bed, and has 2 more feet hanging off the bed.

nvs motorsports

did you want to see the carbon from the outside of boat so it is just a clear coat or inside only

My Feedback: (2)

nvs motorsports , all I can say is wow[X(] You've got talent. So when is the is the the Vee and cat gonna be ready for production. Also can you post more pics of the Vee hull? or is it top secret?

BB Modss

Yes i want to see the gloss side on the outside and on the inside, see my above post.

nvs motorsports

You will only get gloos on the outside an satin finish on inside as the peel ply leaves a satin finish but you can clear it with two pack which gives it the gloss[8D]

To build the cat like that is very expensive probably around $1200 to $1400 as its epoxy clear coated and resin which needs to go into proper autoclave oven

Hpr boats are built that way and they are very expensive also lot of labour
