    Mini Cat partnership opportunity
    #1
    Thumbs up
    Hi All,
    I have decided it would be best for me to take on a financial partner to get the ball rolling with the Mini Cat production. I am hoping that someone I know from here or on serious is interested enough to partner up and help me get these cool little guys to market. Additionally I am acquiring the molds to a 17' 4 seater cat that I hope to release next year. All the right people are involved with the project from Dave "GlassDave" Sikorski overseeing the layup schedules to my local upholsterers that I have done business for years and additional board-members who are also suppliers. Minimum buy in is 35K with a possible additional 25k needed to subsidize the initial run of the 17' cats. Perks of the partnership will include a demo boat to your specs as well as a healthy return on investment. For further discussion or details please call me at either 480 966 2710 (office) or 602 750 0008 (mobile) Thanks for reading!

    Do you have any pics of one completed by chance? They look like a potentially fun little toy!

    it is a knock-off of a Cougar Cub, If you delete that step in the tunnel it will be a little faster. That step actually lets the rear squat down instead of using the tunnel to compress air. it turns better with the step in the tunnel but totally defeats what the tunnel is for. I have flipped those every way possible front flip, back flip, barrel roll. I was the person in the boat when it got it's coast gaurd cert, pulled the drain plugs and let it fill up, it floats level when completely full of water and the powerhead is still above the surface, we started it up and drove down the canal untill all the water was out.

    Brownie says he made the molds 20 odd years ago.

    You might want to contact Checkmate Boats to build the bare hull cause they could build them for less money with there workforce than you could with your upstart cost . they are building bare hulls for www.stmartinpowerboats.com now. that way you dont need investors minimal cash outlay other than marketing

    I've been waiting in the back of my mind for Bombardier to make another significant hull advancement, like they are known for doing, only more in the direction of a tunnel-like hull. Even a tri-hull design would be a big innovation on their already fast hulls, and they obviously have a LOT of money for R&D. It could be pretty bad ass with a couple of Sea Doo's biggest engines they use with their "boats".
