rian het jy nog jou interceptor?
Mouldie: I saw the green boat you are referring to which is a Tom Cat 747. But that boat has 2 x 175 Honda's which is about right. Saw it in December parked at a house on the Marina near the Mouth. Nice set-up.
Is it possible that the "Raptor" range is being built for Honda by Tom Cat?
Honda have done such deals before with Falcon building their Extreme range of semi rigid's. it's difficult to say from your pics if that Raptor is in fact a Tom Cat product - can you send more pics of the front?
BFC: are you thinking of doing something similar with Honda and your new Ace Craft range?

Unless they have changed the hull drastically that is not a Tomcat.Mouldie: I saw the green boat you are referring to which is a Tom Cat 747. But that boat has 2 x 175 Honda's which is about right. Saw it in December parked at a house on the Marina near the Mouth. Nice set-up.

HI Guys
ok , so lets stop the guessing. The boat is a Raptor FC (forward console) built in Zimbabwe by H2O boating who is also the main Honda dealer in Zim. Hayden who built these use to only do a centre console version which is an amazing boat , but had loads of intrest in a Forward console, so he built this one.
The Hayden ownes the reefrunner hull mould, and the Nova is a copy of the reefrunner, that is why the hulls look the same.
The boat was rigged with the Honda BF250s for the launch of the new BF250. normally this boat would be rigged with either 150's or 175's. with the 250's on her we could not get her to go any faster that about 98Km/h which is lightening for any boat , nevermind a 28 footer.
I got to play with her a bit , and she is a soft smooth ride, and i could not get her to broach at all.
The finish on this boat is on par if not better than anything else I have been on, and Hayden does an amazing job with his stainless.
The bait station on the back has everything you need, and loads of space to pack your livebait in ( 4 tuna tubes)
all in all, a amazing boat, with a great finish , and she is going ot come in at a price that would scare teh SA manufacturers, as she is going to be much cheaper than the other boats in her size on the market at the moment.
so those of you who have been dreaming, this is the story, and if you want one, let me know.
