I believe the "Image Boat Company" made "Shadows",
21' Vs and 30' cats

Yea it hav bravos & Small blocks (377's) said to be 600 hp I HIGHLY doubt that. Although very well built I'm hoping for 450, will find out in Dec.!!

That's a Ross Focht 31 Hull. I have never heard of Ross building any Shadow cat.

Hi Bill,, dont know much about the 31' cats. John Emmins raced one the Chariots Of Fire but I dont think it was this one, as his had the older style deck.. Rob [ironhead] may know this one...
