Default Big Cat Sighting in IL!

All black or very dark blue hull, white deck and bustle. Big dog on a non-tilt trailer headed South on the I-55/I-74 loop around Bloomington/Normal. Only got a quick glance and did not see any kind of windscreen or if it had the tell-tall MTI scoops in the side of the deck. Skater maybe?

Mu guess is a MTI just out of the mold headed to St. Louis for completion, as that's exactly what mine looked like.

Too far North to have just come out of MTI unless it went North somewhere for paint. Very basic paint...just solid colors.

Actually, the hulls are layed up in Green Bay, and then shipped to the shop in St. Louis for completion. Looks like Bloomington would be right on the way.

Ah...I did not know that! Could very well be an MTI!
