No I have never heard of them but it is a ugly boat ........ sorry

I through you had a couple of buyers??guess not


Oh no, the boat is sold, just waiting for delivery. It's certainly a
different looking boat, a pickle-fork, tunnel hull offshore racing hull
with fishing platforms and livewells! I haven't seen one in person, but
I've heard the construction is second to none and they're extremely
stable in rough water and high speeds. But that's all I've heard.

The fastcat doesn't look like a really aggressive pickle fork. I rode in
one one time that was laid out as a bass boat, and there was 30 inches or
more of sponson sticking out in front of the trolling motor on each side.
That boat made me wonder how tunnels got such a good rep for rough water
ride. It was both rough AND wet. But it sure did fly! I've since ridden in
a few that were much better rides, but they didn't have that exaggerated
fork look.

Yeah, it's not an aggressive forked front end, but a hull design that
originated in racing and has been modified for fishing. I'm still waiting
for the CD that Jerry has sent me. It's supposed to have much more data on
the boat than is listed in the website. I'm not sure that it's the boat for
me, but I'll keep an open mind and weigh all the factors of the boat. It is
interesting, I've always been interested in performance boats, and from all
reports, this IS a high performance boat. But, I'm not going to sacrifice
fishability just to go fast. Fishing is still the reason for having the
boat, but I believe that getting there should be part of the fun too!
