Yesterday a final contract to purchase the very popular American Offshore 2600 molds was signed between the owner of Screaming Eagle Boats (SEB) and the owner of American Offshore. The molds currently reside in California and are being prepared for their long journey to SEB's shop in Ohio. The purchase included 3 different deck molds, the hull mold and several other smaller molds.

The SEB crew with several attempts over the years to purchase the Talon 25 molds from Joe LoGiudice at Hustler Powerboats, but had no such luck. SEB decided it was time to start taking some old, out of production boats and cut them up to build a new 25'-26' Cat or make a deal on the American Offshore 2600 molds. With the help of Charlie Amann, out of Cincinnati Ohio, who most of you may know as the owner of the original Agitator 32' supercharged inboard Skater and also a very fast American Offshore 31 footer, a deal was done. SEB Thanks Charlie for all of his help in making this deal come together.

Rumored history to the creation of the American Offshore 2600. Todd Lamb of SEB, had talks with Gary Armington and Chip Fendt, both previously of Talon Powerboats. Armington and Fendt, claim to have sold a new Talon 25 boat to Ed Ferro in the mid 1990's. Ferro later used the Talon 25 to build the American Offshore 2600 molds. We at SEB did a blueprint of the Talon 25 and one off of an American Offshore 2600 and saw basically little difference in the bottoms. The majority of the difference the SEB crew saw, was mostly done on the top side.

The SEB crew anxiously awaits the arrival of the molds and can not wait to put their spin on them.

In more news from the SEB shop. The Victory Team in Dubai has been going through some changes in their boat racing teams. SEB was fortunate enough to hire 2 of their top composite workers during this re-structuring. We look forward to addition of these guys to our crew. The plans are for them to relocate to the US the first of the year.

Great , They are going to have a nice line up of new cat's

Great handling boats! We love our AO, glad to see them back in production.

Yes, they are great handling boats and are a proven hull. I believe there is still a place for Old School Boats like the AO. Thanks Todd

This is the fastest growing offshore boat company there is right now. Keep an eye on them, good things to come!
Like when they build my 36 someday

Where in Ohio are you?

Hopefully this link shows up right. Contacts

Yes, i like the 36 as well,
Todd, any update on the new 36?
