    Does anyone know how much reserve volume is designed into the hulls of a normal beachcat.

    To clarify

    If the cat weighs 150kg and the maximum crew weighs 150kg then the total displacement required when flying a hull is 300kg or 300 litres

    If the hull can displace 450 litres then it has a reserve volume of 150 litres or 50%.

    Thanks
