Awesome Steve, best of luck with your new boat! Say, does Fast Cat have a
website? I know of Basscat but have never heard of fastcat. Thanks! Warren "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ... Well, it has happened!!! I'm getting the FastCat C20. After talking with a couple other boat manufacturers, as well as other FastCat owners, I've decided to take the next step and get one of the little rascals. After talking with Jerry, the president of the company, I am now the Wisconsin sales rep for Fast Cat Marine and there's talk of more to come in the not too distant future! The FastCat owners that I've talked to have been more than impressed with the fishability, as well as it's rough water capability. I've been told that the storage is huge, which I need, and that they're a very comfortable, dry riding and FAST boat. We'll find out more when I get down to Miami later this month to meet with the owners of the company and to drive these little rascals. There's one boat down there that has twin 300 hp Merc's on the back and they're going to let me drive it!!! I've been told that they've hit 118 mph with it. That's something I've always wanted to do with a boat, drive into the triple digits and now I'm going to do it. How cool is that? I'm getting the boat rigged with a fair amount of cool stuff, a Merc 250 XS, Lenco Trim Tabs, stereo and all the other goodies as well. The list of goodies is fairly extensive and I'm getting the trailer upgrade as well, seeing's I put a lot of miles on a trailer. With some reservation, I'm putting a MotorGuide 105 pound thrust, 36 volt trolling motor on it as well, the digital model with depth track, shore track and that kind of stuff. I don't know if this is a good thing, but no one responded here or on the other locations that I posed the question, so I called a couple of service centers for MotorGuide. The report that I got was that this series of motors is doing very well but they all cautioned me that the more complex the motor is, the more likely it is to have something go wrong. I knew that before I ever picked up the phone! Both places said that they haven't been seeing them come in for repair for the same thing consistently, and that a lot of engineering had gone into upgrading the systems after MotorGuide bought PinPoint Trolling Motors. I loved my PinPoints, so hopefully this new TM will be as good or better. So now it's fly to Miami, run the boats and see what color I want to have them build the boat in. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Steve its a veryinteresting boat indeed. You say theres plenty of storage
space, I just cant understand where it could be with the tunnel hull design. I'd love to take a ride though, sounds like an awesome big water craft. Warren "Dwayne E.

You evidently don't know Steve too well, he does 60 putting the boat back on
the trailer. His max break-in speed was 65 on his other boat. "BradS" wrote in message om... Get the Merc. Verado. A buddy of mine has one on a 20' Crestliner Tournament series, I we do 60 easy.

And I suppose there might be a little mid-life crisis involved, but I don't think so. I've always been a performance nut and a bit of a speed freak. I've always had fast cars with big engines, I used to race motocross and enduro and I've just continued that with boats. But from everything I've heard and read about the boat on other sites, it's a fishing boat! -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
