Default Cat's in fresh paint and decals

I sent my Pro Cat aka Drag Cat clone down to Ohio to get fresh paint and bodywork done on it. Misshydro and her now husband Joe stripped it down, finished doing some bodywork in it then laid on the black, striping then shot 3 coats of clear on. My sister lazer cut the decals. Sis also cut some decals for my Falcon 41 while I was at her house.

Good. You might have seen this hull yesterday but don't remember as things got a little crazy just after we got to the show. Crazy was kind of the word the whole day, we really got weird when we walked over to Packo's for lunch!
Keep on thinking about what you might want. Maybe one of the dealers at the show gave you something to think about. Next for Tom is a much smaller Cat in the 45" range, I'm waiting to see that one as it should look like another Skater.

I'd like to see him begin producing the PPB skaters. I may clear the stable and try a single turbine in one.[:-]

No, it hasn't blown over .......yet. The hull was laid up really heavy in the front. That's what happenes when somebody who has never built a hull before goes a little overboard with the cloth and resin. It's one of the six PHM hulls.

It was a toss-up on that boat. I almost went with Honda decals then tell those who don't know any different that it is a Honda and could buy them at the local dealership. I told the guy behind the counter that when I bought some HP-2 and he wasn't amused. He must be the person that has people needing muffler bearings.
This is a Hockey town. We've got a local farm team that is now part of the San Jose Sharks and the Philly Flyers. When we were under what is now the Dallas Stars, we had a lot of players moving up and they even grabbed the coach, Ken Hitchcock.

I notice you not going to trust us with more pics of your cousin holding the boat Ron

I seem to remember that picture got 4 times more attention than all the other pictures.
