Looking for a werid power cat

Hi,

While in Moreton Bay Boat Club in Scarbrough, Brisbane, Australia about 2 years ago, I saw a weid looking power cat . It is hard to decribe. Basiclly, it was about 40' to 45' long, 15' beam, large rear deck small black canopy, twin outboards, and small cabin. It was very long but not very tall. It had the twin hulls pretruding from the front cabin out about thirty feet. These hulls were divided with nothing between them all the way. Once the hulls got to the cabin, they merged and formed just one mono v hull. The back deck and cabin was on the mono v hull. It was plain weird! It is hard to describe but I will put an diagram on once I figure out how to. It was fibreglass so i doubt it was a custom. Anyone know the name, brand or model?

Ive have been serching for ages!

The hullform you describe sounds a lot like a wavepiercer. A number or recreational vessels have been built as one-off's and of course many much larger vessels have been built as fast ferries ( www.incat.com.au ). The only other thing I can think of that is vaguely like that (though not as big is the Prowler 9000) designed by Jeff Schionning ( www.prowleraustralia.com )
Lets us know if you ever find pics of the boat...

This is the diagram of the weird cat, as you can see it is very long but iis not very tall. The engines on the back, iam guessing, are about 200hp twin Mercury's out boards if memory serves me right. The person on the side view indicates the hight.
