The factory has completed design in has begun manufacture. I saw video of
hull number two with a single Volvo engine. Looks great. The price in the US
should be just under $100K.
The MC920 is a unique design. From the waterline up it looks like a monohull
but from the waterline down it is a cat.
Initial testing shows the MC920 with fuel consumption of 2GPH and cruising
speeds of 15 to 20 knots.

Look at the all new MC920. Weight is under 2000 pounds and beam is less than
94. You can get it with a closed cabin. Price with two outboards or one
130-160 diesel is about 135000 USD. www.motorcat.com

Just a thought, what about adding a foil (e.g. hysucat) to the TomCat,
that would give you a little more swell clearance at speed, dampen the chop
a bit, and perhaps allow you to run with smaller engines/less fuel.

have inquired, but they are not at all interested in a smaller version.
The Buzzard Bay 33 has a queen sized bed in the center and entrances on
each
side--one of which is the head and shower and is available with or without
a
wall on the head size. We are interested in a bunk we can get into from
each
side (so we are not crawling over. It also has a pilothouse, with a good
sized galley and L shaped settee/table.
The MC 30 has a crawl in bunk, no pilot house, and is over 9' beam.
The Glacier Bay is a good hull; there was a 25 built around the late 90's
which has a bunk in the middle, but no real galley or pilot house. The
older
Glacier Bay's have a slightly different hull (no "tracking pads")--which
apparently makes a difference in handling. One of the beauties of the
Glacier
Bay, is that there is a "walk around" deck wide enough to really walk
on--but
that takes a foot out of the cabin width and thus the dinette, galley and
storage are less. The idea of extending the cabin on the Glacier Bay has
occured to us, but most of the older boats have two stroke engines and by
the
time the modifications are made and the new engines are purchased, the
cost
becomes considerable...
We are going to sea trial a second TomCat 255 tomarrow--this has Suziki's
150's. The boat is light, with no compressor in the stern or dive tanks.
Hopefully we will find some chop and maybe some swells and see what
trimming
the boat bow down does. Even the dealer admits that the boat is noisey in
any
chop from impact of the waves on the flat sections of the hull.

Take another look the boat is much narrower, different hull and with a long
hull and aft(motor brackets) overhangs. Probably really about a 25 footer.
Really a trihull. Hope it doesn't trim bow up at speed like the MC30 photos
show. What happens when you try running a displacement hull at planing speeds.

What's New
http://www.trikini.com/whatn.htm
The MC 30 and the MC 920 are two very different boats. Although they are similar in length, they are very different designs.
The MC30 is a sleek feminine motercat with a cabin that reminds me of my sailboat. It is 10 feet wide and about 4500 lbs with two engines.
The MC920 is a more macho looking cat that looks like a single hull from the water line up. It is 8' 6 wide and more easily trailerable. It has an innovative W style hull in the rear that allows it to be powered with a single Volvo engine saving both money and weight. it is a completely NEW design. Hull number two will be in the Northwest in July.

My MC30 rides very flat in the water. Especially compared to the traditional V hull.
At 20 knots, my bow rises about 6 inches. The boat rides very smooth and stable. I was out in 6 foot plus swell just last Sunday with no problems.

The MC920 is a unique design. From the waterline up it looks like a
monohull
but from the waterline down it is a cat.
Initial testing shows the MC920 with fuel consumption of 2GPH and cruising
speeds of 15 to 20 knots.

Look at the all new MC920. Weight is under 2000 pounds and beam is less
than
- You can get it with a closed cabin. Price with two outboards or one
130-160 diesel is about 135000 USD. www.motorcat.com

Just a thought, what about adding a foil (e.g. hysucat) to the TomCat,
that would give you a little more swell clearance at speed, dampen the
chop
a bit, and perhaps allow you to run with smaller engines/less fuel.

This is what I have also been looking for. Jeff Seigel had mentioned
the
Buzzards Bay 33 but this has a 12 foot beam, and costs $280,000 base
price. I
have inquired, but they are not at all interested in a smaller version.
The Buzzard Bay 33 has a queen sized bed in the center and entrances on
each
side--one of which is the head and shower and is available with or
without
a
wall on the head size. We are interested in a bunk we can get into
from
each
side (so we are not crawling over. It also has a pilothouse, with a
good
sized galley and L shaped settee/table.
The MC 30 has a crawl in bunk, no pilot house, and is over 9' beam.
The Glacier Bay is a good hull; there was a 25 built around the late
90's
which has a bunk in the middle, but no real galley or pilot house. The
older
Glacier Bay's have a slightly different hull (no "tracking
pads")--which
apparently makes a difference in handling. One of the beauties of the
Glacier
Bay, is that there is a "walk around" deck wide enough to really walk
on--but
that takes a foot out of the cabin width and thus the dinette, galley
and
storage are less. The idea of extending the cabin on the Glacier Bay
has
occured to us, but most of the older boats have two stroke engines and
by
the
time the modifications are made and the new engines are purchased, the
cost
becomes considerable...
We are going to sea trial a second TomCat 255 tomarrow--this has
Suziki's
150's. The boat is light, with no compressor in the stern or dive
tanks.
Hopefully we will find some chop and maybe some swells and see what
trimming
the boat bow down does. Even the dealer admits that the boat is noisey
in
any
chop from impact of the waves on the flat sections of the hull.

The photos on the site show the front 1/3 including full forefoot out of the water and it looks like flat.
Also the stern is dug in.
If not true they need better photos.

My MC30 rides very flat in the water. Especially compared to the traditional V hull.
At 20 knots, my bow rises about 6 inches. The boat rides very smooth and stable. I was out in 6 foot plus swell just last Sunday with no problems.

Take another look the boat is much narrower, different hull and with a long
hull and aft(motor brackets) overhangs. Probably really about a 25 footer.
Really a trihull. Hope it doesn't trim bow up at speed like the MC30 photos
show. What happens when you try running a displacement hull at planing speeds.
stern digs a hole and bow heads for the sky.

I'd say it's the same boat with MC30 meant
for USA and MC920 for rest of the world.

The factory has completed design in has begun manufacture. I saw video of
hull number two with a single Volvo engine. Looks great. The price in the
US
should be just under $100K.
