Prostock85:
Quite a historic scrap of paper you have there! I see you are from Lake Hopatcong, did you find it in Elbie's garage? LOL
I would have thought George drew designed the boat it earlier than 81.That "Drawing on a cocktail napkin" is on par with finding Noah's drawing of the Ark.

That American express Chris Cat belongs to member AEX on here....

The Shadow cat was originally designed in 1979........ Those drawings were for the stern drive deck which we created to satisfy the demand the original "Luv-it" created.

Was the 'EL BOSS'' a shadow cat ?

It was THE Shadow Cat. Awesome boat. Willie Diaz was one sick mofo. Some people ran inside the reef. Some ran outside the reef. Willie ran over the reef.

You are dead on, with your description of Willy.

People thought I was insane.

I was normal, compared to Willy.

And I mean that in a good way.

Bobby You were NEVER normal - you were Above Normal ! -and I mean that in a Positive way !

Great seeing you ! You have not changed a bit either !

Phil

It was great seeing you Phil.

Hope all is well.

It was and that Sport Class hull was feared by every racer on the planet. It was faster around a race course than just about any Open Class Boat of its era. In retrospect, El Boss, Luv-it, and Black Duck put us on the map....... You need great teams to race great boats.

Not sure if these are all marked as Shadow cats - some may be Chris Craft etc - sorry!
