    ocean worthy?

    So.... Question was posed in another thread and got me thinking. Next time I'm in the salt water, I'm thinking about going on out of the inlet into the open water, but I was wanting some opinions. I have the Saturn 12ft mini cat, with a very dependable Johnson 14hp. I'm very comfortable in the...

    storing outboard in car?

    Anyone like me who just keeps everything in their car since I'm getting 1 or 2 outings a week? I keep the boat bagged in the den and just wheel it out and strap it and the gas tank to my hitch haul. Everything else stays in my blazer... Including my outboard, which stays laying on its front side...

    another mini cat video

    Check out another video I made on the mc365. Got a shorter seat pedestal and put an extension on my tiller which let's me move the seat up and the performance is greatly improved. Now it's time to start looking into the over transom splash. I think as far as getting on a plane and speed it's...

    improved performance on 12ft mini cat

    So.... And yeah, I know shouldn't do this, but it was an experiment. I moved the bench seat up from the back spot and connected on the "oh ****" handles. Damn.... Night and day, planes in under 10 seconds and cruises about 17mph, GPS topped out at 18mph, must have road a wave for a second. So...

    great bouncing around on air deck floor

    How do you guys with air deck floors stop all of your heart from bouncing all over the place? Again maybe it was the hurricane and extremely bouncy chop but it def was an issue!

    14hp + mc366

    Got to run the boat this morning for about an hour and a half. I had my 10y/o daughter on the front. According to GPS it only ran about 8.5 mph.... Is this right? I was hoping for closer to 15. Now I do need to play with the depth of the motor a bit, it seems to be a bit further down in the...

    tube pressure

    Ok... My Saturn mc365... Book says to inflate tube to 20kp and floor to 60kp...I have the digital pump so I can get it spot on. I seem to remember someone saying that that isn't enough pressure? Any suggestions on what to do?

    how much fuel do you take out?

    Name about says it.... If you are going out for a full day on the water how much fuel do you take vs actually use? I just got a 6gal tank but was hoping for the more local lakes I wouldn't need to take out a full tank. I know I can add stabil and just use it next time..... Just curious

    new motor

    Sorry I don't have any pics up for it but I traded the 7.5 for a JOHNSON 15 on my 12ft Saturn mini cat. I can only imagine that that motor can have me pushing 20mph? Any opinions? Hope to have pics up soon and the first outing will be either next Wednesday or Thursday on lake Waccamaw, nc. The...

    mc365

    Ok... So the other thread has been getting bogged down. I'm wanting to show my boat and discuss my mods or add one. I started with a 7.5hp motor. I'm trading that in for a 15 HP. I have launching wheels. I plan on adding a Bimini top, and mounting my swivel seats to the benches. What do you guys...

    trying again

    Trying to get pics of the boat up after using on local lake this weekend. Don't have the sticker yet and I'm going to have to have the guy I got the motor from take it back. I ran it for 15 min. It shut off and now rope won't pull, but it was a blast while working!

    hypothetical question

    Ok.... Imagine this... Same boat, load, weather/water conditions. What would be the difference in performance between a 7.5 HP and 9.5 HP? How often do you guys actually go wot? And would the 9.5 be more fuel efficient at same speed? Thanks guys!

    so I did it

    Hey guys, couldn't resist, I've been eyeing the Saturn 12' mini cat. I know several didn't like the design but for what I want to do it seems to be perfect. Going to pair with a 7.5 Johnson sea horse. I'll have pictures and a report up soon

    opinions please!

    Hey guys.... Here's the deal... Wife agreed to let me spend $1200 on a new boat. But.... I'm staying with my Johnson 2hp. I don't plan on doing any open salt water but heading to some inlets and rivers is a possibility. What would you get with $1200 and a 2 stroke 2hp? I'm thinking a 15' xl...
