Interesting angles. Pretty rough at times. That looks like as good a ride as you can get in the rough stuff. I like the way the sneeze seems to be minimized on that hull. Tunnel looks kinda narrow, Wonder how they did that?

Next time yer in Charleston, we'll drive out to James Island to his "shop", I'll introduce you and you can ask him...might get lucky if he's got one in the water...

Billy did a lot of research, including a scratch built "square cat" that he fished for a while. He has fished in all the "classic" monohulls, even had a V20 at one time. When he started up this boat, he hired a naval architect to do the hull, with his input on how it should look(Its by far the best looking cat I've seen). He a made a big effort to eliminate the sneeze. If you ever meet he, you'll figure out his attention too detail and frugality is well...almost irritating. That extra effort shows up in the boats. The 42 with quad 300 Yamaha's is getting a lot of attention now

I've seen and read all the hype on the hull and it must be a great boat.

Only one thing is missing in my opinion.

I can't afford one.

That is one sweet ride. Maybe we should start a website devoted to the restoration of them, oh wait there aren't any sitting around, abandoned, or left to rot anywhere
