Re: anyone know anything about Ocean Express Cats

They're located in Algonac Mi. Yes they have been around for years. They make a big strong and slightly heavy cat. They aren't as fast as a Skater but they're not slugs either. I like their 39 because you can take 8 people out and everyone has a seat at 100 mph.

Re: anyone know anything about Ocean Express Cats

I know know nothing, ask Tizbad and Sylvester and Phatcat. Now we have the Swift Kick joining in on the fun. Lets not forget about Boot.

We all have their 39.

Re: anyone know anything about Ocean Express Cats

A guy here on Grand has a full race Ocean Express. It was a really slick boat when he would run it. Unfortunately, he bought an Eliminator and put the engines in it.

Re: anyone know anything about Ocean Express Cats

I ran a 26' as a stock boat when US Offshore was around - ran it with 200, 2.4's & 2.5 's - beat the boat, stuffed the boat big three times and it kept on ticking - I ran the boat as a two seat with cover over the rear - Boat may be a little ass heavy with seats in the back - Boat also wanted to porpoise @ 75 mph - great choppy water boat - ask for Ross up there in MI- he might still be alive - I sold by Express ??? 12+ years ago - Max speed with 2.5's was 100 mph

I would talk to Tizbad.

He has done a lot of work on his and makes trips up to Ocean once in a while.

The 39 is awesome.

I have seen several 39s. Never saw a 26.

Re: anyone know anything about Ocean Express Cats

There was a 26 that ran in the Great Lakes Silver Cup Series with T-2.5 Mercs. It was always one of the top finishers.
