Does anyone know about this company or the person the sales team was referring to?

They also sold boats under the nautico name. Again just curious, as the company appears to be long gone and I was always left wondering...
Richie Powers (7xChamp) used to be affiliated with a fishing cat company in sales........ Those boats were not performance based however, but were more along the lines of the Australian originated semi displacement cats that are quite popular today.......... Stable and great in big water...but no speed to speak of.

I just went through that forum , wow !
Seeing that Jesse James Chris Cat really psyched me up . I've got to get to Bristol and snap some good photos of my gutted Chris .
There aren't too many good Chris Cats around and even fewer Shadows .
I think the " American Express " is worth preserving regardless of investment vs value . She was a good missle and this time the props will turn out , but I'll save that story for another time .
Thanks for the good read .
