Talon Powerboats
Looking at a 22 cat. No motor and the 200 will be on it. I guess they were faster than the 21 skaters for less money but never really took off. NADA value for a 95 is like 7k with no motor. www.talon22.com

Re: Talon Powerboats
Cool. I'm glad somebody bought the molds and are building them again. Talon sold all the cat molds over the past couple of years and are concentrating on fishing boats. They tried to get me to buy their 18 mold several times, but I just didn't have the coin to swing it. Not that I don't have my hands full already.
The 22's definetly were not as popular as the 26 (which was heavily splashed and the reason they got out of high performance boats). The center pod means this boat will be slower than the Skater, but more family friendly. Your power desires seems to be in line with the boats capabilities, it may be a bit under powered. This is not a boat to be taking out on the ocean.

Actually, 80 mph will be rather boring in that boat. They are very stable and forgiving.

Re: Talon Powerboats
Actually, they fly pretty well too. Just not much free board.

Twins made it MUCH faster and incredible acceleration (especially with Nitrous ). Never lost a race from a 20 mph roll, and I raced a lot. Single engine handled the bigger water better, not as tail heavy. Always a compromise.
The Talon has a center pod which helps with ride and turning where the 21 Skater does not. Skater will be faster given the same power. IMHO the Talon has better lines than the Skater. The mold work with the curves and the super smooth finish really turned a lot of heads. She was a blast.
