Since
this 21' power-cat was first designed some 15 years
ago, this concept has become very popular. This style
is universal now for a rowing team's chase boat. It
was designed as a quick, economical run-about that
creates very little wake. As noted in Mr. Harrington's
note below, it does quite well in rough weather too.
Construction
is the very rapid CM or developed plywood/epoxy. 6hp
per side or a single 12 hp motor will be good for 10
to 14 knots depending on load.
The
design is being updated with a more traditional run-about
bridgedeck. Plans buyers will be able to get the new
upgrade at no extra cost. Also, a production version
is being built in China. |
