Doug Wright is building a brand new 35 foot cat

I don't understand how a cnc can build a mold? For a plug i get it

Think of the plug as havimg a surface

The router knows the surface shape from the instruction set of the CAD

That same surface is the mold surface, and the router cuts that surface but instead of cutting the foam and leaving behind the plug, it would leave behind the mold


Also, the mold is done in pieces in foam. One sponson would be done first, then the second, then the tunnel. Then all three parts are put together as creating the female mold in foam. A hardener skin is applied on the foam. And the mold shape is complete

I wonder if the next biggest version will have Seven Marine outboards?

[mjwalters]

Ok. But but the mold will still need to be finished. No?

[powerabout]

yes
painted sanded buffed

[noli]

Good looking solid model , can't wait to see the finished boat. This hull may work well with our new fifteen " 3.5/ 4.0 LT CRT motors .
Will it be ready for the show in february ?

Probably will not make the show, but Rayzor have said similar ideas about your bigger motor for this cat.

Will be a great combo

Three of Matt's beast would be soooo cool. My guess is that most guys will stay with twin 400s. The cockpit is a lot bigger then the current 32- as is the rest of the boat.

...Projected BARE hull & deck weight?

I was told the turnkey weight with 400Rs is 5200 lbs

[JPEROG]

Hull target weight is 27 to 28.

IM thinking just 2 3.5's turning around 8k should be fun

No question that would be getting it done. Are the 3.5's going to be splined for 3.0 gear cases?

yes

The cases will be custom dry summed and modified for the added tq application .

I wonder what shaft length Doug plan to settle in on . May check out tomorrow

now that sounds fantastic

Wow this is going to be an awesome build. I have been looking and waiting for a boat like this already visited a couple of factory's but this is off the charts. Man this hull with some light weight high horsepower custom outboards would open some eyes. I am definitely going to try to speak with Doug and Matthew on trying to explore this potential. Man I can't wait for this.
