        I looked at his site and saw a message that many hulls were out of stock, and the cheetah appears no where on site... I sent him a message.. didn't see a phone number?

          Tom will not have some for a while but, he hopes to get some asap. It's an administrative burp that needs working out is all.... just wait a bit, send him a PM in a couple weeks.

          Great cat, just fixed mine and going to put the guts back in after I talk to Doby about proper can spray foam application...

          How the heck do you get that short tube up into the sponson tips???

                  I think TFL is doing a Cheetah now, get a hold of Monica here on the forum. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...9-Monica-Smith

                    Thanks... I'm going to surf their site first... as if I order from her, and have overseas shipping anyway I'd like a few more goodies they have...

                    if that doesn't work out... I'll hang in and wait it out and put a order in with Travis... as Ray up in Ontario knows it gets cold quick here in Maine too... I'd like to have a couple weeks to build it, and then have some season left to run it :)

                    If they are coming this slowly to Tom at ampeater, I'm wondering if I can get one very soon from anywhere... if so I may be forced to getting a 36" aeromarine cat as I know they are available... just really like the more slightly more scale looks of the Cheetah, and the nice interior layout!

                        I'm trying to get a dealer account setup with tfl so we can have someone stateside to get these hulls. I'm mainly doing it for the cheetah. I'm not looking to make any money off them....I just want my fellow boaters to have a way to get their hands on one if they want one. I will tell you it's a pain in the rear dealing with tfl and very archaic. I have to email back and forth back and forth until we get the order straightened out. I wish they had an online order feature and I didn't have to deal with all these shenanigans.

                          Travis, I don't know how you're dealing with TFL but I've had the best luck dealing direct with Monica and she always gives me a decent deal on shipping.

                            I'm buying several things. I was originally quoted $99 per hull for shipping. I got a email from her this morning and I think we have it sorted out now. I'm sure ordering one thing is probably straightforward but I'm ordering a bunch of things and adding fiberglass hatches to some and just bare hulls on some and hull and hardware on others. I'm getting several of those cool looking arrow riggers too. Kind of excited about that. I think I can get the op a really good deal on the hull he's looking for. I'm just waiting on her to add that in my invoice. I wish I had the extra money to order a few more extra things just to have on hand.

                              Trav... Got your pm and sounds good... But lol I'm already looking at the other stuff too...

                              Are you getting your hardware from them? What rudder / strut did you choose? I would be up for getting my building supplies at the same time also if possible.. Tfl has some decent stuff... I'm looking to use a 4070 tp on 6s in mine FYI... Can I get you my part numbers?

                              Also if I get a hull from you I get the one with the straightest ride pads correct :) haha!
