Hi Brien, yes she is a Cat I would like to have myself.

But she actually should have twin engines, which btw is the only option to buy them today. But the nice thing as compared to any other engine, you will have the engines mounted horisontal while the drive is leaning to the center of the boat to operate in pretty undisturbed water. The hulls are symmetrical and with progressive V-shape. The draft on cats I am not used to calculate so she might sit a little deeper with these engines. Total weight is too early to estimate, but she will be built with PVC-foam cored vinylester and lightweight interior to achieve the desired speed and fuel economy.
I think the forward mounted props at cruising speed will not cavitate from following seas, but I am glad you are pointing at such things.
