I showed you mine now lets see yours. :)

Here is the wake (not an awful lot, sorry) from the Ocean Adventures catamaran here - she is probably travelling at about 18 knots.

She is 49' x 16', and has 2 x 150 hp Yamahas on the back - here is the port engine at speed :

These photos were taken on sea trials after the new 150 hp engines were fitted (the previous motors were 2 x 115 hp) about 18 months ago. Maximum speed with these at WOT was 26 knots by GPS.

Edit : Here are a few scanned photos, taken a few (ok, maybe 6 or 7) years ago, before I had a digital camera, when she was fitted with the 2 x 115 hp Yamahas - these replaced the original pair of 70 hp Evinrudes......

Turn your speakers on to hear what 2400HP sounds like.
Well, now it's my turn to say following Hurrcane's post.... :)
Much less horses of course, but soundwise nothing can beat a petrol big block with thru hull exhausts, imho!

Not so much wake, more "hitting the wash".

Friends on their Prestige 32 get some air on a multi boat cruise a few years back as they crossed the wash of the Prestige 34 I was aboard.
