Decided to replace all the crap Beede gauges with Autometer pro comps that I just ordered from RexMar, also have to swap the powerhead on the motor and install the electic fuel pump, filter and slosh tank.

You have to get out some more pics,Id like to see the progress.Where is gas tank location?I have tank in front but Ive heard modified tanks in rear of boat.

I'll have to take some pics of my tank, its custom that fits on top of the tunnel just behind the seats. I didn't like the tank in the front, as you burn it down the balance of the boat changed too much. I put the battery up front and have the tank much closer to the cg.

This has been posted several time, here is the initial restoration of the boat. Now we're just "tuning". http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slidesho...e&conn_speed=1

I may new to the site, but just saw a funcat 1986 (in NJ) posted on ebay and looking forward to anyone building a new version. I am in Florida and looking for the right little boat and this model may be it, so if anyone knows of a new version of the funcat 13'-15' let me know. Thanks

Really interesting thread - and the Funcat looks great. Sometimes you can have more fun in a small boat - not all about length and horsepower.

Anyway - would be interested in speeds / power achieved.

I'm just about to take-off a hull mould of a 13'6" cat in the UK. A good little project and then to get onto the deck - which might take a while as it has to fit in around other work!

Cool Adam, not sure the CE HP will go very far though - 30,40?

**Adam Younger** · 06-10-2009, 05:01 PM

Hi Phil - could be a bit of a problem with selling - but will be ok for me to put more horsepower on as an experimental boat! Have had a few enquiries for it from abroad and also about racing them - so maybe some mileage in them - although I will be looking to sell off the moulds once I have built the first boat.

Actually really looking forward to it and the deck should be fun to do.
