how will the seating be laid out? how big will the fuel tank be?will it have floation foam?can you talk me out of the 15-5 ocean express.how heavywill it be fully rigged?

[Vicious]

Blank weight will be around 475 to 525pds twin 30 gal. cells, will be set up with four individual buckets with a console or optional rear bench or center steer with race hatch the possibilites are endless! But the price quoted is limited to the base hull & deck configuration and the first bakers dozen hulls! FIRST TO PAY, FIRST TO RECEIVE!!!!!!!!!

[yachter55]

can I be the guy that gets thebakers extra?what kind of warranty will you be offering?do you base your rigging on a hourly rate?what if I supply guages and motor.do you see any dis advantages to the rear bench seat?

[Capt.Insane-o]

Gotta go sorry!:D

[Vicious]

Aye, Cap.
You got to learn to control that!! How is that new shop coming a
long?
Yachter55, We are like burger king you can have it your way!
Our rigging rate is hourly and I dont mind if you bring your own parts to a point, I'm not installing somebodys old harnesses and tracing wirring problems for somebody to save 50.00 bucks you know what I mean.
Spark

[JOLLEY]

'I know' what you mean Spark.............. I'm working on the plates ,they are coming along, AND I'm making sure the relays and wires are soldered and shruk wrapped, loomed, etc. on the harness :o so we don't have a 'sitchiason' such as that!!!!! No rush on my boat . Talk to ya soon, thanks Bill:D

[Capt.Insane-o]

Set up fer center steer. Any xtra for the flake? Ice gone yet?:D Just crawled out fromr my HST.:eek: I found a spot of delamination that worries me. And the bottom is pretty chewed up. Do you have time to fix 'er up?I'd like most of the bottom sprayed in black epoxy primer. Yuk I did'nt need to see that today:rolleyes:

[sho305]

Mmmmmm that looks good!

[yachter55]

are you open sat as I am half way to your location from where I live .I would really like to check out your 17 .the guages I spoke of are brand new.and im in mich right now checking out a engine.

[sho305]

Search Vicious for posts, he has posted other info about this 17' hull. This is a plug for an all new hull! This is for the mold that he is now making. It has not been run at all, but he makes a lot of larger cats and a 10' too. He said he will be testing the first one with a 300hp:eek:!! Check his two sites he lists about his larger offshore hulls. I think he said in the other posts he is around the Lansing/Saginaw area in central MI.

[Capt.Insane-o]

I went down there not too long ago to check it out. It's sweet. They do really nice work there. Mostly big offshore stuff but it's a top notch job. I can't wait for him to start poppin' em out. 475 - 525 lbs. Carries 60 gallons of gas. Should run like a gorrilla with it's ass on fire. The 32'rs are beautifull and really light. I might check it out again next week. :cool:

[Vicious]

Im hoping this weather break's soon! Its putting a squeze on us right now not to many people are even thinking about boats around here right now! We were closed last saturday because of a company hang over!!!!! I was aling all the way to today. Nice thing is we have so much DAME ICE we can drive our vehicle's home on the lake and canel instead of the road. Thank god for that cause we had no business being on the road! Going back to bed.

I've had it. :mad: Can't stands it no mo'. 3 right now. No snow = no water in lakes=real bad. Me and Cap'n Morgan been hanging real tight lately. Crawled around under my HST the other day. It needs help underneath bad. Looks like my 10 footer money is going to that. :( If you are intrested in fixing up her bottom;) when can I drop it off? i took a pic of the deck in tooling gel and have been showing people it. I think you may have a hit on your hands. They really liked the price too.:)

[sho305]

The weather! Last week my golf cart had a fuel filter full of ice, and all I had was some alcohol. I put a little in there and left. It was 50 yesterday, but the wife wanted to stay home. So today it is close to 25 here and I get a bottle of drygas and either and go up there after 3 to see if I can make a lap on the lake:D About an hour drive and it is windy up there. I get out and it feels cold in the wind? I look and it is 12! So I put the drygas in there and pour some in the filter/line. No go. It runs fine on the either. I shake it to stir the fuel and go in to do other stuff. That was 20 minutes worth and now 10 degrees! Get warm and go try it again, but must have a quart of water in the tank I guess. I say screw this as the wind is real cold now. I lock up and leave so I been there about 40 minutes now and it is now 8 degrees! It is just after 5pm.:mad: Wind blowing so hard it drifted across the whole road in a couple spots, but not enough loose snow to do much. This sucks.:rolleyes:

[Capt.Insane-o]

I'm going to freak out. I need to find a small place in Fla for the winters. I'm a boater not a freakin' eskimo. FTS!!!!!!! -22 on my digital thermometer this morning.http://

[Capt.Insane-o]

This 'bout describes it. Untill I get my new boat.

[yachter55]

started out in miami at catera boats,looked at the 14`thats on ebay .he is setting up to do mass production looks like a nice set up.the owner angle was very helpfull in all of my questions.I am waiting to see vicious and his cat be fore I make a dicision,that catera has a center hull so my concern is how do you think it will handle on lake michigan.if you are in the market for this kind of boat you have to see this one.starting to look like a flip of a dime.hope the weather gets warmer be fore I go back to chicago. oh yah I may haye found a project boat for a friend ,looks like a take off of a 18 skater.but I would have to find some one willing to tow it back to chicago. any takers?

[Vicious]

Well all we have left is the floor pan, Looks like that will go fast!
I hope!!! Boy I cant wait too start selling them to start recooping some CASH !! Its been a long winter, I guess we are just about there! THANK GOD!

[Capt.Insane-o]

So how was the ice storm for you? I'll pop down again this week. Not much going on here, just waiting for all the money people owe me, starting to look like I may own a couple of cool toys! :eek:

[Vicious]

I know the feeling! I dont want any of the boats that i've been working on I NEED THE CASH!!!!! It's the only way I can keep on going. What size t shirt do ya wear I'll have one there for ya when ya come down. The ice has left the lake ! What a great wife I have she just brought me a cold budweiser! Without even asking! If I didnot have her I couldnt stay in the boat business, This has been a reel trying winter!!

[Capt.Insane-o]

I'm sitting on about 18 grand right now. At least the guy with the 56 chevy wrote me a check for the whole thing before I started, then took me out to lunch! Why can't all customers be that way?? I'd throw you a deposit but these assholes need to come get their crap, you know who you are!:mad: Storage charges are piling up boys!:rolleyes:

[Vicious]

It sucks dont it!!

[Capt.Insane-o]

I'll buy the beer! Screw the floor plan, as long as a cooler and two seats fit in it somewhere, it's fine!:cool:

[sho305]

I can see the captain wrenching the 300hp motor on there, then tossing a couple of folding lawn chairs and cooler in there...."Let's GO!":D :D :D :D :D

[Vicious One]

Its monday again and now we have six inches of that white stuff ! WILL IT EVER END!!!!!!!
I guess all we can do is hope for the best.

[sho305]

Only an inch over here, but high winds they said made windchill of 11 this morning. Looks to be nice Thursday. If we are very lucky, this will be the last blast. Average high temp is 52, and I have 30.:rolleyes: Michigan, or Michi-toba?:D Canada; you can have the snow back....really!;)

Now that's a new one on me. Never heard of driving home on the lake in your car!:eek: Great alternative, though.

If I have too much at my local watering hole. I just ease home on top of the MS levee.:)

[yachter55]

you guys up north have been low key .could that mean you are almost finished with that 17 cat?Is it true you still have ice on the lake?If you get some extra time give us a peek on your progress as there are alot of us that have been following you on your journey.April 15 is the first day of boating in the chicago park district.so gentlemen fire em up:D

[JOLLEY]

Spark, I finished painting the Cat, I'll be bringing it over whenever is convenient......... Let me know I'll call you tommorrow. Thanks for everything, Bill;) :p

[sho305]

:confused: Spark?

[Vicious]

Sorry I havent been on the board lately just have alot going on in the shop, And still not alot of cash flow, It's still pretty tight around here!
I put bill back on the 17', The plug for the floor pan is just about finished we have been having issues on the center console because of limited room for the shift and throttle cables, So we are reworking the designs.
Got to go!

[sho305]

Same thing here Spark, good luck and keep us in the loop.

Wait a minute, I thought some here were talking down-payment?:confused:

17' Cat:D :D

[Capt.Insane-o]

yea, me, as soon as I get paid from the goddamn deadbeats around here. See you tomorrow Sparky.

[JOLLEY]

Captain, I'll be at Sparky's Saturday taking the Cat back to have the new rubrails, etc. put on., hope to see ya if your down here.... Bill:D ;)

[yachter55]

how is that vicious coming along?has the ice melted up north?send us some updates on your progresss . thanks yachter55

[Capt.Insane-o]

He's in the same boat as me right now. Deadbeatius Customerus. If I had it my way they'd be Extinctimus.

[sho305]

That sucks. It is strange over here; one company is working Sundays for the first time in 20 years, and another is still laying people off. Hope the money train gets started one of these days. Not like the dumbitus arsholyness in congress will give us any help.

Ya need to hire the collector folks a Target, National bank I think. A dink that lives here owes them $$, and they call EVERY day once or three times. Been on them over 6 months now. I get tired of them and cuss them out, they still call. I pay the phone bill, go figure.

[Vicious One]

I'll put some fresh shots up today!

[sho305]

:D :D :D :D

[JOLLEY]
