AL Kropp and Jim Ariloa were owners/operators of this boat. "KAT" = "Kropp Ariloa Team" back in 1988/89 or so. They were from the Chicago area.
I bought this white 1995 35' Ocean Express for my next project.

I can tell you straight up if you gave me almost any of the mid 80's Offshore cats today.....I'd probably give it back. (with the exception of a couple of Conquests of course... and just about any Skater
)
