I'm not much of a Cat guy, I've got two dogs.:grinser010:

I'm more into the old-school vee's.
Big heavy resin bucket, wave crusher, mega-hp to push the heavy old beast, classic "sharp" lines, beefy rubrail...

While the capped deck/hull can look pretty trick, it just doesn't seem practical. I think it looks good on larger (longer/leaner) boats, but kinda makes a boat of this size look like a toy.
Don't mean to be brutally honest, and this is only my opinion, but,
They look "cute".
Just not the look I'm going for.

I think the cat boat would be awsum with a pair of outboards and maybe a diet to slim it down to a 26 or 28,I would be intersted in one,if I could ever sell what I got !

I'd rather have the Ilmor710s.

I like the look of the boats. The cat looks very cool. On the 29 is there no rubrail or is it painted to match the sides?
I say good luck with the new boat company!!
I really can't believe these guys that can only say something negetive.

I second Payton!

Best of luck with your new boats!!!

bouyhunter 08-10-2008 06:27 PM

I'm not trying to be negative at all.
And I wish all the luck in the new venture.
The boats just don't have a look I care for, and I stated my opinion.
What's wrong with that??

The cat looks kewl if it is 40'-50' long, but that looks like an rc boat in my opion... The back seat looks tiny also is that usable..

It's a left coast puddle jumper thing. They get trailered out to some small lake or reservoir are launched from the beach or a county ramp, run around, anchor in shallow water or beach like the one in the pic, at the end of play get put back on trailer and go home to the heated garage. They never get near a dock. They don't raft up cause the party is on the beach. So by the law of natural evolution the rub rail went away. No rub rail means the paint and graphics can be continuous across the shear. Looks real nice at the gas station, the McDonalds parking lot and going down the freeway.:p
