Yeah came into pilots point Westbrook one year for fuel late 80 early 90, was really loud I don't think it had stock power in it. Saw it in the OP graveyard about 15 years ago and that's where it has sat. No other info. Good Luck

How is your project coming along? I just bought one, no motors or drives. I'm going to convert it to ooutboards and run the Merc 400's. I'm also going to make major changes too it. I'm taking it apart, cutting it in half and widening it a foot to 9' 6". I'm also going to lengthen it a couple of feet. Really haven't decided how much. I'll then pull molds to build the boat. The goal is to build a high end 100mph tournament center console. I build bigger boats now so its not that difficult for me. I'll have a sport boat and center console boat. I've thought about keeping the sport boat original. But after looking at the wider beam other cats out there, I thought why keep it the same. What do you think. When I build the boats they will be totally infused with carbon, Kevlar and balsa cored. Infusion is what I do. If you want to know what it looks like apart, I can let you know. You may have some questions about your boat. If you find any other cats I maybe interested in another one. Have fun. If you need any technical building questions, I would be happy to assist.
