Shadow cats were built 1980-83, Chris cats 84-86. Not sure when AO got the molds, but I don't think it was as early as 89??

Saw this boat on ebay last year and recently at a church auction in Tn., I beleive it was advertised as an aero-tech, but I could be wrong.

I may have some, from what I remember it was mostly white, most distinct were the throttles, they were super short and had stars cut out of the shafts. Anodized red and blue.
