Re: Shadow cat - epoxy
That was after doubling it.......The bare hull itself is still the cheapest part. But when you go to dress it!!!

Re: Shadow cat - epoxy
I got the boat&trailer, fully rigged + 3 2.5 mids&2 lowers for 8000.00 (trailer is 3 axles with mags+ 2 spares,made by Performance trailer,looks nice)
The trailer & parts are worth that alone.
If I fix the boat, I will do the work myself. The biggest cost facture will be 3-300 efi promax.
And ya, a new paint job.
or, just buy another cat?
I like the idea of 3 outboard motors.

Stv92 You may not like the idea of 3 outboards after you owned one. I have had both. The 3 motor boat would be faster in the flat water but the middle motor takes an A** kicking in any rough water. In my experience the 2 motor boat is a better boat all around and faster in rough water. you could get a newer style hull and be faster in both smooth and rough with only 2 motors.

The boat is more than 20 years old. It was the Black Duck one of the winningest boats in history BUT it is tired. At 8,000 that is cheap, I would consider it a show piece not rebuild it. It's been rebuilt many time including a major fire. 3 300's new would be around 50,000 grand.

Re: Shadow cat - epoxy
Ryan, I agree, she is old.
I think she has been sitting on a trailer since 1996.
I saw the repairs from the fire, they did a good job on that part.
Shane broke the top in 1996, but he stated that she was solid the day before?
I am getting it stripped as we speak. I should have it home by the week-end.
Once I get it home, I will take a better look at the boat, then decide what to do.
I have the trailer & rigging, if its not worth it, I will cut it up and buy another 30ft.
I plan on running in the river, not offshore. Manybe a couple of poker runns, but she will not race again.
The only reason I wanted three motors is because it is rigged for three.
SHARKEY, does it interest you to look at it & fix it, if it worth it. Ill pay your time if we dont fix it?
Just a thought?

Re: Shadow cat - epoxy
STV92 I see no real reason this boat could not be a good pleasure boat. You will make it a little heavier but that may not be a bad thing. Fishead on the board recently bought a 30' shadow with twin 300 promax motors. I think he is running mid 90s. Probably over 100mph with 3 motors. Add up the $ and decide what to do

I got out of that business some time ago while I still had my health!
I can recommend Hydra Powerboats though.
They are listed on my website.
