Hellkat Powerboats....30 foot cat....original Jay Pilini design

[capteliminator]

I think it looks really good but the transom looks awfully short for 20" motors?

[Risco]

Boat looks amazing. Glad to see it in water

Boat looks great! I was told they bought the 32 Phoenix raceboat that was for sale on copart and they modified it. It does resemble the 32 Phoenix ( which eventually became the 32 fountain cat).

This is not that boat this is a 30 spectre that was widened and completely rebuilt.

Gotcha, boat looks incredible!!! Unreal it’s got some really nice lines. Can’t believe it was a 30 spectre at first. Crazy transformation. A lot of hours spent for sure.

Yeah Todd d who runs mad efi now and races the wicked race boat is a mad scientist.

Here's Todd ...


He made it look simple, had a good plan, was a partime project that went smooth, he sent me pictures of them flipping the hull with a strap the owner Frankie was very, very nervous, Todd has been a good student learning very quickly motor tech and boat building, I believe his next project will be mold building, will it be his new race boat design or this boat, I know he want's to build a 30 something boat version of his 28 ft. race boat.
Too many ideas, not enough time.

This project is truly inspiring!! Looks like they added a Doug Wright receiver. I understand they widened the hull but where did they add the extra 2 feet to the hull bottom?

I'll confirm ...

proly still is a 30 which would be perfect for a pair of 300R


lovin' the way they sloped the rear downward, looks awesome and updated

looks like the bow deck is longer thus closing off the bow a bit for more lift?

After Hellkats is done with this boat, send it back to Todd D and build a 36 footer out of this


awesome!

Prob should be split into two threads. "Both" are nice boats and deserve to not have so much corn~fruzing , contradicting info posted about them ..

Chaz, I promise you these seemingly unrelated boat projects ARE related


let's see what comes out of the boat-building machinery
