This should be interesting. Peter may have some competition for the "end all, be all of cats" in the near future. Perhaps he'll even have another competitor enter the market with an even more unique construction technique/design theory...

I gotta agree. I have lots of friends with big cats and haven't heard them griping about the insurance they pay. It may be high, but that's what it costs to run one. You shouldn't be buying a supercat if you can't handle the cost of owning it. It's the price you pay to play.

Speaking of which, seems to me that the Numero Uno for labeling you as 'obsolete' seems to have fallen off the performance boat face in the past couple of years. Yet, you're still around. Does this mean you've been around so long, you're now 'new again'??
I'll call you soon.

It is a very costly method but creates very light and very strong pieces....... However they are not bulletproof as a glance at the Callan (Ten Cara) boat after Key West will confirm.
