Default Who makes cats???

Does anyone happen to have a thorough list of cat manufacturers. Even no-name west coast makers.
1980 - '95ish
25ft+

I've gone through the classifieds but I know there is more
Thank you for your time

Elite powerboats. No clue who or where they are made but I see them kinda often here in the midwest.

Just because it is a cat style hull do not assume it will be a cat ride. Some are really not in the same league compared to the well known hulls in ride and resale value.
With older smaller hulls stick with Skater, Eliminator, Motion and Spectre.

Talon 25 is what a lot of things were based off of.

There were a lot of failed/crappy Cat attempts in the 80's: Checkmate, Wellcraft, Baja, etc.

A couple of copies of a 25 Talon are American Offshore and Firehawk.
