Boat Builder Central

I'm still up in the air between building and buying. I want a displacement or semi displacement power cat. I have been studying for sometime and curious what the thought process is between placing the outboards centered in the rear of each hull, cheating them to the center but still on the rear of t...

I'm blessed in many ways but one of them is I live near the coast and on a large lake that has locks to a river that leads to the ocean. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinopolis_Dam I have a a couple of large buildings about 30 miles from launch but I have a friend with a large building not being use...

Would this be too much weight with ...

Has anyone built an E-Cat 24? I'm new, hello. I have a composites background but not in boatbuilding, mine is in automotive a little in aerospace. I have a friend that owns a fiberglass boat company.
