New Pro Boat 48" Gas Powered (CV Motor) Cat with Electric Start

[Darin Jordan]

Just saw this announced this morning...

New 48" Gas Powered (CV motor) Cat. Has on-board electric start, etc. Pretty nice looking setup. Seems like a step in the right direction.

I haven't seen one personally, but they did take my advice to make the hull quality more solid than previous offerings. Weighs in at 20lbs, so it's certainly fairly stout.

Have no idea how it performs. I'm told they are getting 48mph out of it out of the box. Based on the "stock" props that come from the RTR suppliers, I'm guessing there is much more there.

It certainly looks good. This would be a nice hull to run in LSG Offshore with a good engine backing it up.

Here is some video of it running:



Also... I think I may have mistyped the motor type... I think it's actually a CY motor, not CV, whatever that would be!

From the video, it does look like it runs pretty well.
