These tri cats were made in my garage after 2 years of looking at a lot of
boats, and plans for boats. We did this because I am handicap so I needed a
boat to fit me like my wheel chair.

Each deep V hull is 10 feet in length and 24” wide ¼” of tempered aluminum
plate as is the deck; it has two chairs one forward and one a stern. The
controls are the same as my chair except for the accelerator which is
operated left-handed. All the fittings are stainless steel. John a friend
next door and my son did most of the work; I did the jigs to make the hulls
and some of the arc welding.

We also had to modify boat trailers for them. I have no pictures. If you
like I can tell you were to get the parts. Thou it would cost less to get a
ready made deep V bout for your trip. Oh the out board is an old 15hp sea
king. sorry it's late and i'm tired it's beeen a long day.

HEY this gets even better! I support people with disabilities of all sorts
and many of the folks that receive my supports like fishing too! (I have a
job where I can fish regularly while at work)
have you got any pics?
I am wondering if by handicapped you mean you have a wheel chair or are
talking about something different. This is the kind of adaptive equipment
I could sink my teeth into.

what do you use for motor? Is the boat fiberglass or aluminum? how does it
handle? What type of adaptations were necessary for whatever your
disability and could it be individually adapted to other peoples specific
challenges?

I would love to see some pics of what you came up with.

Yes please do tell us more about the boats.
I'm going to be in the market for a small - mid size boat next year at
tax time (I hope)

Would like something that can easily run from lakes and ponds to out on
the bay.
