Katana
 

Olli-
Thanks for posting the photo.
Is that your Jag? Where are you located?

Due

Wish it were. I'm just a fan located in Germany.

Regardless, nice to have you post.
Are there many performance boats there?

There are some Cigs, Formulas, Hustlers, Scarabs and Abbates plus some “exotics” but it’s getting really difficult for them as the environmentalists over here are quite strong and high performance boats have a bad image. May it as it be, we have some poker runs but I’m not part of that scene so better ask some of the people that are. You will find more infos here:

We also have two manufacturers:

Olli-
Are these Jags (Katana, Silver Bullet, Ninja) currently raced?
John

To be honest I don't know. The pictures of Katana and Ninja (I think they show the same boat, Katana became Ninja) were sent to me by a Japanese fan about eleven years ago and I don't know if there is still a heavyweight division in Japan.
The pic of Silver Bullet is from an older Hawk brochure.
Just thought you would like to see them.

Jaguar is somewhat of a riddle to me. Don’t get me wrong, I really like their boats but I hardly know anything about that company. How did they survive 20+ years by building just a few raceboats? What else did they build? Speaking of that, I remember that I read some years ago that they had plans to build a canopied Apache splash under the name of Cigar Powerboats. Do you know anything about that?
