So.... And yeah, I know shouldn't do this, but it was an experiment. I moved the bench seat up from the back spot and connected on the "oh ****" handles. Damn.... Night and day, planes in under 10 seconds and cruises about 17mph, GPS topped out at 18mph, must have road a wave for a second. So I'm thinking that I'm either going to make my own or buy the aluminum seat frame from boats to go so I can get my actual swivel seat into my cat. I doubt it'll perform with two people although I don't know why it wouldn't? I'm thinking of making my own frame with 1.5" PVC.... I'll have to tinker.

No wonder it took so long to plane out, too much weight aft, you should have moved at least your weight forward moons back. Btw what type of deck floor does that mini cat has ? is it fixed or removable ?

Happy Boating
