American Offshore Boats
 
I wanted to thank Scott for the time he spent with my girlfriend and I on Saturday, He took the time to show me his shop and how he builds a top quality boat, from what I saw he use's only the best of everything, from balsa coring to different resin's to the little details that you don't see when the boat is together in one piece, I would recommend his product to anyone looking for a top quality offshore performance boat, I have looked at some other cat hull boats, and I can say that when I am ready to buy one I am sure it will be an American Offshore, thanks again Scott, I hope to be in touch with you soon.

WOW!
 
Thanks for all of the kind words! We work hard at what we do. Try to get by soon and we will take a ride in a 26! We warmed up the 3100 a couple of hours after you left. With the new engines we only took it to 5000 and still ran 108. Again thanks for the kind words and come see us. The guys from New Orleans bought a 2600!

Scott:)

I was down at LOTO this weekend and noticed the MO. waterpatrol has a 26 american offshore now.

GRH 07-29-2002 10:17 AM

As the owner of an AO2600 I can assure you that you will not only be satisfied with the product.... but these guys stand behind thier stuff above and beyond what 99% of the manufactures do.... Great product.... Greater Company...;)

ITLLFLI 07-29-2002 10:25 AM

I AGREE! I am a proud owner of a 01 2600. I love the boat! But most of all it is amazing how Scott always has time to talk with you about his product. I call him every once and a while with questions and he is always willing to take the time to speak with me! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

merlin540 07-29-2002 04:14 PM

i own a 97 31 ao and if i cant break it it cant be broken THE TORTURE TESTER :p

Playn 07-29-2002 04:33 PM

Now here's a refreshing thread! Great testamony! I've always liked AO's and when the time comes they will be on the short list.

FunHome 07-29-2002 05:05 PM

Rich, Do What? The Water Patrol in a 26 AO Cat? You have got to be kidding!!

If so then Scott, was it a pain to build them to their standards? I always heard that they have weird Standards that they require. And that is why they ran Webbcraft's for so long, It was the only company that would put up with them. And as for Challenger they just wanted to be able to say that the Water patrol uses them.

H2XMark, I'll second that, Scott is #1 world class people!! Great to talk boat's with!! I met him at Miami this spring!

Jana 07-29-2002 05:22 PM

I've met Scott at a couple of TOPPS events and I have to agree - great guy! Gave me a ride in one of the cats coming back from a fun run. We didn't get to go full bore, but it was a nice ride. Not ready for a cat, but if I ever go that way, AO is definitely on the list.

MnHowardCat 07-29-2002 05:24 PM

God that sounds grate to here. Maybe some day more boating companies will relize that customer service is what will bring some one back to spend more money.:cool:

FASTCATS 07-29-2002 07:56 PM

Thanks Guys for all of the kind words. We like what we do!

Merlin, How did the new props work?

Scott
:)

blueamerican 07-29-2002 07:57 PM

I am on my second 26' AO (a 1999) they only get better. Goal is still a 31. Maybe some day the "Cat Gods" will smile down at me and say its time.

FASTCATS 07-29-2002 08:11 PM

Hi Blue,

We have the Graphics guy finally coming out this week(he says that he's been busy) and we now have another guy that wants a set like what you're talking about. As soon as we hear from him I'll shout at you!

Scott

:D

H2Xmark 07-29-2002 08:43 PM

Hey Hey, Scott I could tell by the look on the guy from New Orleans face, that he was going to buy, that is why I left a little soon to let you take care of him, don't worry I will get with you soon for that ride! thanks again. Mark:D

formula31 07-29-2002 09:19 PM

What ever happened with the incident in Grove ,Ok where you used to be located?

FASTCATS 07-29-2002 10:37 PM

I'm not sure!
 
I'm not sure of any incidents, I bought the company about 2 years ago and it was already located here in Dickinson. Ed (the founder) was in Grove and moved the company down.

Scott:)

We where heading towards Bid Dicks around the 40mm and I saw the 26 American Offshore and tuned around to play with him. I get up next to the boat and see a big Mo. Waterpatrol sticker on the side of the boat. I wish I would have had a camera with me.

FunHome 07-30-2002 09:30 AM

Rich, I would have loved to see the look on your face!!

Scott, How many boat's did they buy? What Power do they have?
;)

FASTCATS 07-30-2002 10:08 AM

None.... YET!
 
They must have bought it used. But I'd sure like to talk to them. Can someone get a pic. I'd love to see it!

"Uh no sir... I wasn't going over 35mph, uh no sir, I haven''t had a thing to drink. Those pipes don't sound too loud to me! By the way, How do you like that American Offshore?"
hahaha

Scott:D

GRH 07-30-2002 10:13 AM

They probably confiscated it.....:mad:

FASTCATS 07-30-2002 10:28 AM

You're probably right!
 
As long as the customer comes back to get another one. Talk about repeat business. Kind of like beer, If they take your beer, go to the store and get some more.:D

Troutly,

I'm sorry we were not introduced at the Miami show this year but the boat you got to walk all over was mine. We are the Florida dealer for AO. Not many people realize it. We spent a lot of time on the intrerior and graphics for that show. We also bought a Hummer to match the boat just for the show. Hope to see you next year.

H2Xmark 07-30-2002 09:55 PM

sounds like a nice combo, hope to see some of you at Miami:cool:

FASTCATS 07-31-2002 09:13 AM

Hey Hangin,

Chris has put something together for you and I think that we should talk. It's very very aggressive. HO HO HO

Give me a call and I'll discuss it with you!


Hey Troutly,

Rob and I haven't talked about Miami next year yet. We're not sure. Whatever it is, rest assured it will be quick and nice! Of course we will all need to get together again and hit the "party circuit" again. The only problem is that you guys get to sleep in the next morning and we have to go to work.

Scott

:D

FunHome 07-31-2002 11:05 AM

Scott, Troutly and the rest of the Gang,

Speaking of the "Party Circuit" Thanks again for including Carrie and I, It made the trip!!!:cool:

What about samples?

:D

FASTCATS 08-01-2002 09:42 AM

That was a lot of fun! I was glad to meet you guys and just get to hang out for awhile. We will have to do it again this next Miami show. Maybe we can get the Dino Dog to go with us as well!


Hangin

No Coupons needed! But you might like it!:)
