also I am trying to think of boat names this is what I have so far

The Cats Ass
Cats Ass
Balls Outs-because my last name is ball
Liability Decision-because I am a insurance Claims adjuster

I am open to any other ideas...

Congrats on the purchase. Before ya jump the gun and start adding more power, get used to driving the cat first. They are a blast. Exspecially with some decent power in them.
Nice color and graphics choice.

Reminds me of a boat I see all the time.

Stang- What's the hesitation on a twin cat? I'm thinking about a 28-30 with mild twins.

Are you a Jeep freak? I know a little about the sport

Yeah been into jeeping for a few years. EJS,Rock comps etc...


Hesitation for a twin engine is the insurance cost,Fuel prices and overall cost of the boat's. other than that not much.
