Info/thoughts on shockwave 26' cat

[TLAW719]

Congrats again, looking forward to seeing the drawing. :thumbsup

Thank you. Me too haha. I gave the painter the graphics but gave him free range to change it a bit so it's my own and I don't have to worry about parking next to another one haha.

I just took delivery a couple months ago. The last couple weeks were the worst... But the best at the same time! Definitely post the build in the From The Mold section so we can all follow it!

Yeah I'm really looking forward to this build. It is very exciting. I have it arranged to get update pictures every couple days and I'm sure I will be down there several times to check it out and take my own pictures. I will definitely start a thread in the from the mold section.

I talked to Greg at Shockwave today and he said he hasn't heard of anyone doing twin whackers on the cat and he is curious on how it would do now also. I asked about price for twin 400's and he said they would be more then the 520 package.

Pretty sure the 400 is about the same price as the 520 with a Bravo

And that's just ONE 400.... So multiply that by 2!

800hp would be nice but my wallet says stick with the 520 haha.

Did Bob or Greg say what kind of numbers you can expect from the 520?

 

[TLAW719]

no I haven't gone into full details with them yet. I was planning on talking to them about prop set up on it and what they think would be best. based off the test with the 8.2 mag ho running 70 I'm thinking I should be able to pull at least 75 out of her. I asked Bob about running the ITS and he said I wouldn't need it with that boat and it wouldn't really help me much. I was kind of surprised by that.

I think the 400 is around $30k. The 300 around $20k each.

I wouldn't mind talking to him about two 300's.

I'll have to stop by and see him next week. (Yikes) [emoji2]

I was curious so I googled it and Found an article that said the 350 was $27,500 and the 400 ranges from $32,500 to $36,120. I'm thinking you should go for it.

I tend to round my numbers down just a smidge [emoji2]

Not sure I want to pull the trigger this year on whatever we decide on. My wife would be all for it though lol.

I like buying my expensive shit on a Christmas Eve when it's snowing/raining out. Deals can be made on those kind of days lol.

I am going to stop by and talk with him [emoji106]

Congrats on your new float. Very exciting. Be sure to start a build thread.

That's alot better then the article I found. $30k seems pretty good to me. If I didn't already have the 520 ordered I'd put more thought in that for sure.

I always liked to round up so then I know I have enough to cover it. :thumbup:

I can understand that with the deals. I've been looking since last October and couldn't pass up the deal for this. Bob made me a real good offer.

Greg is only there Friday and Saturday but both him and Bob and Jen are all very good people.

Thank you. She should be done in July, you'll have to come drink a beer and go for s ride. See how you like it.

I love mine I have a 08 mid cabin 496 mag ho with cmi headers 68mph ....... the boat needs a Teague 850+ for my liking but very solid boat all the way around handles very well in the heavy chop had it in SF bay no problem 3-4` chop ... first class service and stand up guy...!

 

[Sbarry]

I wonder if this could be rigged with twin 300's or maybe 400's lol.

Not sure if it's been done yet?

COVID lockdown has me thinking about the twin 450R 26 Cat being rigged currently.... and how much I want to pull the trigger in winter after the election (depending which way we go) lol

The last few delivered have looked outstanding!!

No build thread, and COVID is affecting operations.
