CHEETAH MARINE Catamaran 6.9M launch and retrieve.

Simple single handed launch and retrieve of a 6.9m Cheetah. Filmed in Portugal whilst we visited for a short holiday and sea trails.
The trails went really well, we launched on two different slipways and we had rough and calm conditions to trail the boat.
This 6.9m Cheetah is powered by two 80hp Hondas , it cruises well between 20-25 knots with a top speed of 30+ knots! Order placed :)

Hi matt is that the 6.9m and 2.4m wide as I have just purchased a 2009 model and was just wondering what size engines I could put on the back any advice much appreciated

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Hi Kevin, it was the 6.9m but I think it had slightly more beam than 2.4m. I now own a 7.9 x 2.7m and have 2x 115hp on that. The best people to ask are Cheetha themselves, you can google them for contact details and they will be more than happy to help mate.

What kind of trailer is that

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Michael Watts Cheetah have their own trailers made up near the Isle of Wight.

You made it look it impressive but it's an irresponsible way of launching and retrieving the boat because using the engine to assist trailering erodes the ramp bed, can lead to debris being sucked into the engine, and can cause an accident! If you have don't boat test or licensing, you will find that is one of the test and not recommended to drive your boat to the trailer.
