I cant see any resemblance to DogZilla, or is it just me?


No, but I see a WildCat chine . . .

the wildcat has a sprayrail, that tries t hold back the spray, this shape redirects the water/spray away from the bow


One interesting detail is the airfoil shaped snuffer.

Apart from that, I see an incomplete and rather conventional design, with curved asymmetrical foils replacing normal boards.

No rudder foil or other means to control boat attitude. Also, no indication of an angle of attack control for the foils.

wieght distribution of helm and crew are responsible for this

I guess M&M still don't believe in (or don't understand) the S foil, which makes more sense for a cat than the C foils seen on this boat.

S foils are to complicate to controle on a beach cat
