If I recall correctly, back in the late 80's Donzi and Arwin Marine (I think) co-ventured a Flight Cat powered with twin turbines, it was black, did over 100 MPH with 8 of us on board! I was lucky enough to get a ride in it when they had it at South Seas Plantation one time. It was supposed to be in the Mississippi race that year. Anyone recall this boat? I have pictures I could try to scan....

I'll have to dig out my pics of the boat and look again. I could have sworn they called it a Flight Cat. I had the opportunity to talk with one of the crew when they were at South Seas, he also said the boat was going to be or had run the Mississippi River Race that year, he mentioned Don Johnson was participating. Did that ever come to pass? Do you know what ever became of the boat?
