There's another one sitting at TNT and it either belongs to them or Phil at Lipship, I think it's TNT'S. Been sitting there for years.

From what I remember these boats were real turds. If you look at T2x's post about great moments in Cat history thread, he says that it was the worst Cat ever built. I think the major issue was that the tunnel wasn't wide enough to pack air for lift
