Ex V Looking at a Cat
 

I am looking at Nor-Tech cat and I'm not sure about the handling characteristics of the cat versusu a V. Any feedbak would be welcomed. Thank you.

ck insurance prices also....

That is sticker shock! I'm more concerned about how I should drive the boat.

There was a good thread a month ago...cats vs v hulls alot of good info.

FAST

Thanks for the lead DT42!

Don't drive it like you do your golf cart!!!
:eureka: :drool: :p

That's a good idea. By the way are you going to actually have a boat to drive this year. Just kidding. I'll see you at Hooker High

You'll love the cat once you understand the do's and dont's.......The speed is unparrelled in boating..I too made that choice and now I'm so glad I bought the cat. The first couple of months are the hardest. Take it in steps,and you'll be fine. seat time is everything on these boats. Like they say "ONCE YOU GO CAT,U NEVER GO BACK"

I say hire a captain, so you can drink more, and to hell w/ the handling.

Don,t sell the company boat. Where you gonna haul my beatche

them babes all west of Mississippi sure like them cowboy hats

Yes they do!
Oh, and if they are built west of Denver, they are unstable.:o :o :D :D :rolleyes:

jeez, i crack myself up.:crazy:

oh heavens to Betsy......:eek: :eek:

You guys love to bash west coast cats.......:D

I'm not bashing them at all.
That was just a light-hearted jole referring to T2X's comment.:D ;)

Besides, I was referring to the girls.:p :D :D

Oh yeah... all the women out here on the 'Left coast" think they are somehow "incomplete" unless they make themselves inherently "unstable" by adding ballast to the top half..........:D

ballast D DD DDD DDDD

tell me when we have enough ballast Reed

Oh as for a Cat

If you can $$ a Cat and have interest in Nor Tech Cat

Then do it!

A Cat is lot of fun

My take:

Don Aronow was into them!

Reggie Fountain has worked with them!

The Arenson boys like a Cat walk turbine style!

The common theme is they all like V's too! It's a nice thing to have some diversity I think! Having both would of course be best!

I prefer the "ballast free" models............:D

I am with you on "both" of these issues Reed

Not me. Some of the best money I've invested!!:D

I don't think she minds all the attension she gets.

yee

once you get use to the cat... it'll take about 2 hours maybe.... you'll love it and never want another v-bottom again...

Don

I have to agree the first time you drive a cat you may think what the hell did I do but it will always be hard to go back to a V.

Does anyone have any feedback on a 28 profile cat

Hey Welladjusted
If you want a cat check this Nor-Tech out. I think it will be for sale soon.

Thats @ 120

If you want to stick w/ a great big V. This OL is for sale.

Thanks for the feedback!

Welladjusted
If you want to know about how the Nor Tech handles give me a call (561 644 9234) I can put you in touch with the right guys. All I can say is from the back seat @ 120 mph the boat felt like it was on rails.
