Default ANYONE KNOW WHAT MAKE THIS CAT IS??



I bought this on Ebay awhile back, was told its and Aeromarine, but I highly doubt it. The hull is made out of a really thick plastic or resin, but it's not fiberglass. I am not sure what was originally on this forpower but I put a K&B 3.5outboard on it, hopefullyit will be enough. Oh yeah, boat is about 29 incheslong. Any help you could give me would be great!

3.5cc should work good on a 29" long hull.

Not sure on the make of the hull.

If you have cornering issues, check to make sure the inside sponsons are sharp. You can use very thin ply and epoxy to add a sharp corner if the corners around round from the mold.

It could be a Graupner boat. I saw one at a swap meet a few weeks ago but it was still in the box. Can't remember the name off-hand though.
If it's a really thin plastic then it could be an old ABC Hobby hull.

It's definately not thin whatever it is, it is about 4mm thick except for the transom was quite a bit thicker, but I added some aircraft plywood to the inside of the transom.  The little bra hooks were on it when I bought it, not a bad idea, I might put them on all of my boats it's another place to retrive them from...

It might be a MRP Cat. Seems like MRP had a cat similar to that, but that would have been like 15 years ago - or more.

Did they have stepped hulls 15 years ago?
