Hi, yes I still own it.

I was out on it last weekend. It’s a great boat, very well built and fast. It’s the acceleration that’s the main standout and the way it pops out of the holel. Planes at...

I just checked the quote I had for a new one, and a GRX420 as a comparison was £6347 ex Vat. The 12k I quoted earlier in the thread was actually excluding a trailer, so it would be nearly £15k for a...

I think a Ceasar surfcat is much cheaper. They are PVC I believe, so possibly a bit lighter and faster as well.

You could try and build a package up. Pickup a used Zapcat / Thundercat and reuse...

They are as rare as rocking horse poo, especially second-hand. I had been looking for a while to see how often they came up, and it was basically never. One came up and I just bought it straight...
