think more surface foiling. a lot simpler and you still get a lot of benefit. full foiling boats coming out (look at some of the new electric boats like candela) have limitations in heavy seas.
@@dr34994 They don't have any photos whatsoever of the hull. The FoilCat website also states the hull design is limited to 58 mph due to hydrofoil cavitation. Interesting.
@Ballista I have a world cat 320cc, pretty comparable boat....I'd LOVE to be able to go 58 mph....or even cruise in the 40s as this claims to do. Now...I'd compare this to an insetta....I'm sure the mysterious price point would be the biggest deciding factor
Do they ever show the foil they are talking about? Is it on the boat, or the engine lowers? The propellers on the motors surely arent moving, what keeps them in the water? Fountain did this with a stepped hull.
I'm almost 80 years old, been boating most of my life... Every few years the boating community catches what I like to call 'catamaranitis' a very expensive disease... 'Nuff said!!!...
Not a big fan of Cats? Or just not much of a difference to you? Just curious with your experience that’s all, I’ve been looking into them but not sure.

Would love to see what the range on this thing is with a couple Sharrow props!
You took the words right out of my mouth! Wonder what the effect would be.
can we see the foil ?
Looks pretty IN the water to me for a hydrofoil.

Where is the foil?
What is that rub rail made out of?
Again all talk no foil?
Right?

Not sure about foilcats, but Insetta's is a permanent piece between the sponsons
It’s permanently mounted to the sponsons a little towards the rear of the boat.
Is this better than insetta 35

@@dwightbernheimer331 I don't want to seem evasive, so I'll just be evasive! Silly old bastard. Self proclaimed old man of the sea...WTF, lol
Yea.... I could see how a catamaran wouldn't be useful in Arizona
@@URbeatSon Thanks for taking the time to respond...
Why the tug boat rub rail? Some of us can actually maneuver a boat and don't need inches of padding. Looks terrible. Insetta 35 gets my vote.
We all know the original is the Hysucat and the rest are just playing catchup on Malan Conradie’s innovation.
Malan Conradie is a FRAUD

Thanks Jim, we'll work on some more detailed videos in the future about this technology.
