Another SportCat goes to its new home!
Collected on Saturday.
Standard build with blended bow and transom joint, moulded windscreen with seamless join to the deck.
A lot of extra work but well worth the effort.

Congrats, Alan, really looking great!  Do you already know what kind of engine the new owner will use?

Nice.
Can she race 3C?
What would she go like with a 200XS?

Thanks
Not sure it would measure for 3C and would need a canopy now too, I think.
But I'd say it would run very well with a 200XS, the demo boat, hull number 1 & heavy, is rigged with a 15" 225 promax. It runs very well, and well balanced.

Hi Mike,
It was a pitty, but you cought me out that day, I was still working at MYS then and was hard to just take off in a boat for the afternoon.
Was a bit longer than a year ago though! More like 2 plus I'd say, how did your plans for the move go?
A lot has changed since boat number one, we've done a good bit of work on the moulds, resurfaced the sides and built up the flange area. We're bagging all the cores and working towards infusion.
The 1900/seaquell or 650SS as we call it now is doing ok, with a couple of boats built but I'm concentrating on the SportCat at the moment. And doing ok!
Just about to start another SportCat shortly, as soon as we clear through a backlog of repair work. The next SportCat will be a nice one for sure, with plans for some pretty wild power and changes in the transom and tunnel.
Tony, found some better pics of the transom, bow and screen.
