when I knew the boat when it lived on the west coast it had sterlling power. When Joe bought the boat the sterlings were still in the boat

If anyone knows how to run a cat its Rolf for sure

I docked right behind him in KY, and I think he had Roots Blowers. So that would limit the HP, probably 1300 at the most and it didn't seem to have that much when we were running.:D

Stored indoors in Florida ??? I saw this boat in Rolphs yard in Brick NJ just a few weeks ago ???

DaveP 02-20-2008 03:40 PM

I spoke with Rolf 2 days ago and he told me that it is in FL and that he will be bringing it back to NJ at the end of Feb

Hey Bill, you thinking of adding another one to your stable?? That Cat in the Act, is for sure one of the baddest looking 40's around, and it'd look pretty good in your shop sitting next to your other one.

We need that boat up here in the windy city !!!

Come on dude.............ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!:D

Its alot of boat for the money if its what they say , never seen it but talked to a few guys that seen it in KW ... Bill JR wants mine and i'd be the man in this one .. dont know about JR though he scared the chit out of me when he ran 110 in a 24 cat with a no FEAR attitude ... i have to go slow on this one and get a expert surveyor and do the homework not like the last one ..learned alot and still got a few lumps on my head and pinkys checkbook..

Gino sorry for the hijack .....:cool-smiley-027:

Not an expert, but he was hanging with one (Rolf Papke).
Not for nothing, DaveP., I think we all know what is rumor and what is not rumor. Feel sorry for his family.

I too, feel sorry for his family but if everyone knows the facts from reading the paper they are wrong. The papers haven't even been close to being right.

Were you friends with Joey V?

WildWarrior 02-23-2008 12:02 PM

I checked her out in her slip at Rock The Bay Poker Run back in September 2007 and she was a super clean ride!

I figured she was a much newer boat!

Good looking rig!

McGary911 02-23-2008 12:38 PM

Guilty or not, you gotta admit the boat's name is pretty ironic........

OldSchool 02-23-2008 02:07 PM

Don't know the guy, don't know the boat. But.....if the guy was doing something wrong and got caught, that sucks for him and his family.:(

Now, on the other hand, if the guy did something wrong and has ratted out other people to stay out of jail....he's a scumbag POS and deserves to sleep with the fishes. Just my humble opinion.

Jigsaw89 02-23-2008 02:33 PM

Nice clean Skater that was frequently seen tearing up Barnegat Bay... loud too! Cat in the Act and Barbed Wire are two that always caught my eye.

NJSONIC 02-23-2008 04:17 PM

I agree. Great looking boat. My wife loves the paint.

38Lightning 02-23-2008 04:22 PM

Hard to believe it is a 2000. Looks killer.

38Lightning 02-23-2008 04:23 PM

He was telling Randy "if I buy the boat your going to put the motors where I want them or I'm not buying it. I want them all the way forward! As close as you can get to the firewall. Atleast 18" forward". Randy said he would do what ever he wanted but the boats run great with the motors where he always puts them. Joe told him "I know how to set a boat up, I want them forward".
I was thinking, this guy has the nerve to Randy Scism, of all people how to set his boats up?

Obviously he is an expert in the art of how to "set up"

Ain't no thang! I like to see people treated fairly round here too. Someone tries to publically humiliate another and I take issue.

He is a rat that is all we need to know.
He like making the money playing big shot and could not take the heat.

Dave P.......I always give everybody the benefit of a doubt. If I'm proven wrong, then I am, so what. Everyone is innocent till proven guilty, and so far, all we've read is what the papers what us to know. We all know how bias'd the papers are, anything to make a story.
I really think we should all wait till we hear the other side of the story from Joe before you guys are all ready to tar and feather him.

Fresh paint will do it every time!!!!

SHARKEY-IMAGES 02-24-2008 07:41 AM

If anyone is seriously interested in the boat, when it arrives back here at Pro Technoolgies in Brick NJ, I would be happy to take recent photos of the boat and post them so that you can see the current condition. I am sure it isn't much different from when I saw it in Atlantic City.
