Anybody know about this little power cat? Max HP is 50 & I was wondering if anyone has been able to get this boat to plane off properly and ride properly? Years ago someone was working with one to overcome these issues but there has been no updates. I am looking for a small, low fuel consumption, fast boat that can hold 4 people legally. Any ideas?
Saw an article about law suit for transom problems/leaking a while back,don't know what came of that though,rare hull never saw one up close just on the computer.

Fast boat, 13', 4 people, 50HP : impossible. You'll need at least 90hp & 16'...

I own an Aksano F18, and I did a lot of research on these boats before I purchased mine. I know that the F13 will top out around 45-50 mph (depending on the setup), but that was with the operator only, I have never read anywhere that the F13 would hit 50 mph fully loaded. That seems to be a bit of a stretch if you ask me.
I picked up a 2007 F-13 Fast Kat form an old timer in Kentucky last August 2011 who got 3 of these from some dealer going out of business. He sold 2 of them locally and he told me they put Vintage 80 hp motors on them and they were screamers. The 3rd. one never saw the water but was slightly picked over so I bought it and brought it back to Racine Wisconsin where it got immediate attention. I threw an old 1981 25 hp Mercury 2 stroke on it and took it out on Lake Michigan with 3 adults and beat it. Motor was tired but the boat responded like, "Is that all you got?" I could definitly feel the potential of this boat flying threw the air from wave to wave. So Dec. 2011, I picked up a 2000 60 hp. Mercury Big Foot. It right now is at the marina where everyone is coming together with build ideas. I'll be back with comments come spring. One thing that I want to say about this water rocket is that its looking like it will do 1/1 ratio hp to boat speed. People can't believe there eyes... By the way, I am a Catamaran sailer(36 McGregor) and this was purchased as a tender. Ha-Ha-Haaaah... .
Hey Gunner23 - do you still own the Aksano? I am looking at a F18 with a 150 hp, if you have time for a few questions please e-mail or text [email protected] ph# 727.514.3004 Thanks Mark

Aksano Catamarans recently introduced the F-16 to its model line of small, fast and fuel-efficient watercraft that function as yacht tender or performance boat. The F-16 is a 16-foot tender putting it between the company’s F-3 and F-18 sportboats.
Rare 2007 Aksano F-18 catamaran.....awesome ride! Powered by a fuel sipping Honda 150 hp four stroke outboard, this rocket dances on top of the water, turns on a dime and will take you over 50 mph!
Fitted with 175-hp outboard, Aksano-18 will easy reach a top speed of 50 knots. The model is ideal for exploring, water sports, performance boating, cruising, fishing, and yacht tender. Transportable on a trailer.

I have never heard of this manufacturer, but if you are posting on Scream and Fly thinking this is a performance hull I doubt that is the case. Looks more like that class of true catamarans that are sold as stable fishing platforms, not an air entrapment hull.
