Thanks John for comments, I havnt been on a Wildcat myselft but have been on other boats made by Safehaven Marine which were very well built. I've been told that the Wildcat slam less in swells compared to the South Boats Cat.

Do you know what the fuel economy and speed is on the Wildcat ?

Can't be sure but goggle JO-Dan and give Phil a ring, they don't slam and take less water "over the top"

Hi John, thanks for the info, didnt realise there are only two wildcats in th UK, nice boat but with twin Volvos giving 740hp I would have expected top speed to be more than 26knots, the Evolution will do the same speed with a single 426hp Cat engine???

Thats 75% more power required to do the same speed, so fuel costs could be horrendous ?
