Image Boats?
Has anyone ever heard of Image boats (30' cat)? It looks as if they produced boats from 1983-1988 or so. They look like the old Shadow Cats. Are they a good boat(workmanship and materials) or just a cheaper knock-off? They all look like the Chris Cat. Thanks for any help.

I have an old Powerboat test of the Image 30' cat, I believe Shadow was called Image Team Shadow at one time and that the 30' Image is a Shadow in fact, that they are one in the same. post your fax # if you'd like and I'll fax you the test...Matt

image boat company is team shadow. they produced a 21 ft v hull and a 30 ft shadow cat. it was an original design by linder. chris cat splashed it, ocean experss, superboat,and american offshore,and a couple other company's did i can't remember there names at the moment. it was and still is a great design. it's the best rough water cat out there.

sorry i thought they did. i stand corrected. my bad. but didn't team shadow sue chris craft for splashing the boat and win. chris craft could no longer make the boats.
this is just what i was told years ago. i could and may be wrong.

I'm redoing my 26 Ocean X and after sanding back to gel, I found the old graphix are the same as the image Cats , from the Focht family. Mines a rocker bottom. I believe after that Ocean X built the boat with a totally different bottom with a hook (ahg.) I know Sparky (Vicious) would know exactly what's up as he was Ocean's Chief Rigger not too long ago................ The big cats are a completely different animal, but they share more than differ. I love the way my boat handles the ruff stuff especially the reliability of the outboards. It really is built soundly............... If it was built at one of the Focht's facilities, it will be a solid boat. my .02
