We saw two good looking 26 Awesome Cats at the Shootout this year, but they were both idling around Shooters 21 during the race. Would of loved to see one run in the race, maybe next year.
Way to many variables for a specific answer. Yes, the center pod does help lessen/eliminate porpoising. However, the Awesome hull design in both the 26 and 31 can have the characteristics of porpoising. Since both boats did not come from Awesome with a center tab, only outdrive trim and throttle position would be the drivers only controls. Wind, chop, boat weight bias,---------you get the picture. So many things contribute to this situation. Even prop selection has control or lack of. Bottom line, I will take the cat hull design minus the center pod. Look at a Skater, MTI, NorTech, Spectra. More straight line speed and I am NOT planning on turning at more then 60 mph.
