    1st Gen Skunk Works Cats...last 3..End of an Era

    Hello friends,

    I have my last 3 first generation cats up for sale and decided to offer them only to OSE members. Besides the Cen aqua jet, this was the model that got me going in the boat hobby. A very stable platform that can run in the 50s and the 60s. Beloved by many as an incredibly FUN boat and that is what it is all about.

    Details: I have 2 yellow and 1 red. All are painted hulls. The red has a carbon fiber insert that I put in for an expected build that never happened.

    Dims: 11.5" wide and 29" long. Take notice. These have a flat transom and not the diamond offset.

    Pricing: Red hull with the CF insert is $135 shipped to the lower 48, 2 yellow hulls are $125 shipped (each). UPS ground with tracking number provided.

    I do have hardware in the shop for this hull that works extremely well. I have an attached picture if interested. All three anodized colors available, the strut is 3/16. I admit not inexpenisive at $75 a set but worth every penny. I had these specially made in Malaysia for these hulls and other types also including vees around 29".

    First 3 PMs in my inbox will receive these hulls, the most fair way to do this process.

    Many thanks and greatly appreciate the support,

    That Chinese hull has been around for several years. It is a great running hull. I still run mine with a SPEC setup, UL-1 motor and ESC. I imported a few dozen of these about 3 or 4 years ago and sold every one of them. We called it the Agressor Cat.

      There are a few here that have this hull, myself included, who just love it. It was my first real FE boat and it still is my favorite. It's very fast and very stable. Corners like it's on rails and is easy to setup. For the beginner to the advance. Get it while you can. You won't be disappointed!

                        Scott, where do you typically sell your products other than OSE? do you have a web site or other posting place?

                          Glad to hear that the packages arrived safely and we are all smiles.

                          No direct selling by the web yet it is all by word of mouth and some on the forums. Used stuff from time to time may go to ebay, but limited. Problem is time, I work full time in the telecom industry and travel to Europe often for the job also.

                          Still have the yellow left......any takers out there?

                          Thanks
