That appears to be one of the chinese knock off ones... you take your chances with those. I've heard from people who own chinese ones (there are sold under a hundred different names it seems) and they can have really bad geometry that you can't real visually see and don't perform properly at speed.

Notice the picture of the one in action is actually a Gemini, one of the big 3. The chinese boat companies almost always show someone elses design in their ads doing the real driving, haha.

Interesting though. Thanks for mentioning it! It might get us some more people regardless.

I was just reading that X-kat ad again... a perfect example of the attention to detail on the chinese hulls.... the foot straps are installed backwards. They should be slanted like the red lines I drew. Attachment: x-kat.jpg

Chinese copie, not transport Canada approved which as of this year i have been told all crafts must have TC capacity and approvals labels, they are not asymmetrical wont handle very well, if you keep them under 20mph they are fine anything above that use at your own risk. if anyone has any questions or wants help with looking at a used one feel free to ask i would be more than happy to help or even come look at it with you, i have done my homework

Here is a SuperDuxx outfit with Tohatsu 50 TLDI... asking $5900. In muskoka. No pics, but sounds like it is turnkey ready for stock 50hp class. Billinger runs the same motor. http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicle ... Z394408597

Yamaha Pro50 asking $1175... with controls... so would need a tiller. http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicle ... Z395801299 This would get you rolling pretty cheap with a new or used hull.
