Both have unique rides. You have to experience them back to back to understand. The cat cruises at 70-80 without breaking a sweat.

The Cig wins the vote big time when docking. The cat has to pointed in the general directon and hope you have plenty of help on the boat and on the dock.

Hello Dave, Been reading your thread on the boat project. I sure looks like a labor of love. I can appreciate the countless hours of planning and work. Not to mention the $ set out for such a project.

I am completely redoing an Awesome, much in the same fashion as you have done to this point. The project started in the fall of 03 and is still "a work in progress".

Send more pics on the interior and engine bay. Love to see all of that powder coated stuff. Did you use Exotic or someone else?

When you say your redoing an Awesome--- do you mean a 35 Cigarette

Dennis owns Pure Adrenaline(Expresscat39) and Dave is Mr. Goodwrench. They are both good guys.

Thanks Mark. Meant to write Dennis. Speaking of Dennis (expresscat39), we need more pics!!! Show off that beautiful work, not to mention the express amount of cash that you had to spend.

Hey Lucky Strike, don't you wish. Only if Cig made a cat. Hmmmmmm.

I will have you some good interior and engine pics in a couple weeks. Still working on the cabin.

I will post pics of my paint job as soon as I figure out which way to go. Basically a new boat too. 2 new motors, 2 new BAM1500, new cabin, new cockpit, new dash, new wheel and throttles....

I did a drive by this week to check out the boat closer. The paint job looks killer up close. Love the colors! Now all I'll have to look at is fishing boats the rest of the year!
