I didn't throw her away..... yet. I may try some different engines in it later Or maybe put it back together with surface drives...who knows. One thing I do know... I will have a sword ready for the joust!!!!

Yeah-yeah! Talk, talk, talk!
You killed that Kat yourself, and now you talk again!

So you want a real joust against my Kat Killer - The one and only Mjoelner?
Would you dare to build a 56 x 12 inches wooden mono (with any gas engine you may prefer), and then compete with my mercyless Kat Killer?

My glove is thrown at your feet. Question is: Do you dare to pick it up, Sir Isuzu?

Cheers!

Sir Woodie.

Not only will I pick it up... But I will slap you upon thy cheeks with it... and throw it back at your feet!!!!

This is by NOOOOOOOOO means a bow out!!!! Just a reorganization!!! I started this challenge with a Kat, And I will finish it ONCE AND FAR ALL WITH A KAT!!!!!


(MONO KILLER) Definition: Instrument used to whip the S@#T out of monos...
The maker of CRYERS out of grown men...
Fear Instiller...
One Bad Kitty Kitty!!!!!!!

Yeah-yeah...
I just KNEW it! You simply can't beat my mono with another mono in same size! HA-HA!
But don't be sorry. It's allright to acknowledge when you meet your master.

With very insulting Cheers!

Sir Woodie of The Proud Mjoelner Killer of anything.

We shall see my friend!!!

Hey Oz... You made the comment..."Don't Kats ussually have 9 lives?" Well you're right!!!
Woodie, I started this joust with this Kat, So I'm going to finish this joust with THIS Kat!!!

I call this...Rebirth of the Kat!!! (With some mods of course )

As you can see in the pics... I've taken most of the deadrise out of the sponsons with the idea that Oz had on his EZ cat design. Chopped down the sponsons so the gap would be tighter in the tunnel to force the boat out of water more on the cushion of air. I know what you're thinking already, won't this make it want to blow over more? Yes and no...(I think). Because of the size...no, Because I'm forcing more air into a smaller space...Yes. I'm also going to go with surface drive units on the back of the sponsons instead of the struts hanging down in the water!!!

Scott, you can chime in if you'd like.... Are the sponson to flat to use the surface drives? Or do you think I should stay with the struts?

Anyway.. That where it stands right now, I had to stop for the night until I can get some more glue tomorrow!!!

If anyone has any suggestions... (as far as this working or not) Please feel free to jump in!!!

Brought back from the verge of death!
Love the smell of sawdust in the morning!

I hear ya Oz....
One more pic on the placement of the drive unit!!!

It's a little crooked, but hopefully you can get the idea....

Like lazarus rising from the dead!!!

Quick question: I dont know if your going to run it on anyways rough water but if you do or you hit a big wave will the reduced "ride height" not cause the hull to possibly submarine instead of skipping over the wave?

All the best,

Brandon.
