i have a friend looking for a open bow cat in 24 to 26 ft range doesnt have to be a rocker who buildes a good quality one family boat, boats mainly on inland lakes

Howard, eliminator, Lavey craft and there was a few DCB's built open bow as we'll.

Ultra builds some that are a little more affordable.

Magic and sleek powerboats

does any company build one with drop out bolsters

Drop outs can be done, but most are usually on deeper cockpit cats which are older and a few at best. The first question is has your friend ever ridden in a 24-27 foot cat?

no he was looking at a htm on web and saw one with dropout

the lake he will do most of his boating on has a lot of boat wash waves how do cats do in this type of water

Htm

Excellent. I must say that I'm partial to Cats even though we build Vs as well. There's nothing like running on top of the chop at LOTO riding like you're in a cadillac.
