Cat Engine choice

[francescobussi]

Hi all,
In your opinion can i install two speed 480 in a cat of 90 cm/36'' long with good speed or the hull is too long?
In this case can you suggest me an ideal lenght?
Thanks
Francesco

I'd think in terms of 60 cm max for 2x480's.

And with a 90 cm lenght can i install a couple of 2 stroke engine? and what kind?
Thanks a lot.

For glow engines in that hull, I'd think in temes of 2x2.5-3.5 cc but I've no experience with twin glow set-ups a single 0.45 should give you good performance.

Hi Francesco,

Two (2) two stroke engines in a 90cm cat would make it way too heavy, just one 25cc (Homelite / Zenoah) would do the job just fine.
If you insist on running two engines, it would have to be two nitro engines (2,5-3,5cc).
