mini cat safety question

[volkeith]

If a mini cat looses it's inflatable floor pressure what happens with the tubes when a load is exerted on the flat floor? Is this the boat still controllable under power at that point?

Are minicats one piece or two piece floors, that's having a floor fabric under inflatable floor ? In both cases you should still be able to get to Terra Firme. Assume inflatable floor doesn't touch or ride over water, right ? If so, not an issue being completely deflated or under inflated. Just ballance well on deck whatever you're carrying.

Happy Boating

Hello, i own a 10 foot mini cat. The floors are two piece. Inflatable over pvc liner. I have experimented for the past few weeks that i have owned the boat, i did deflated the air floor to a out 30%. It did fine, just real bumpy on the feet. I also deflated the the port side bow tube almost all the way. I could still do 15 to 16 mph fairly safely while my friend was was lifting the deflated bow tube verticle. The cat flies with 8-9.9 hp and handles much different than a normal sib so be careful.
