The Ceasar Thunderbolt is a 5.3m version of the famous Thundercat. It is incredibly stable at speeds and at rest due to it's catamaran design. It is designed as a race boat / adrenaline boat for those seeking extreme sport and is awesome for 2/3 people to fly across the water at high speeds in comfort and safety. Except for the transom, floor boards and nose-cone, the whole boat is inflatable so it is able to flex far more than a RIB. This gives you softer re-entry and absorbs short chop very well.

The Ceasar Thunderbolt is designed to plane on the hijackers which means that when the boat is on the plane it has a minimum area in contact with the water. This minimal contact enables higher speeds using a smaller engine and thus offers very good fuel efficiency.

|
The other main difference between this design and a mono-hull is that this boat does not lean on cornering. This allows you to change direction quickly and more precisely; it corners as if it were on rails.

|
The boat goes well and planes when it is loaded with six people. However, you will obtain optimum performance with four people or less.

The Ceasar Thunderbolt has a large amount of deck space which lends itself to a number of applications. It is perfect as a fun family boat, the ample deck space allows it to be utilised perfectly as a dive boat, fishing boat or ski boat.

The boat will pull up skiers with no problem at all; ski hooks are fitted through the transom as standard.

We tube the Thunderbolt with the same quality PVC as we do the Thundercat. These boats are built to last and are subjected to huge amounts of abuse as you have probably seen in the race circuits! We use good quality PVC and this has a cost advantage over Hypalon. Although the boat itself is very labour intensive to manufacture, the use of PVC keeps the price of the boat at an affordable level. The PVC is available in a range of colours; red, grey, blue, white, teal, yellow and orange or a combination of colours if desired.

The floor of the Thunderbolt is constructed of marine plywood with a fiberglass outer lining. There are two floor boards joined in the centre by an aluminium strip. If the boat is deflated then these can be removed. Depending on the seating and rigging layout, it is possible to fold the boat in half, lengthways for storage. To remove the cabling and electronics from the engine is a fairly lengthy job and we would not recommend doing this unless the boat was to be stored for a prolonged period.
