    Power Cat boats

    Anybody on here remember these or know the of them, they are from the tri hull bathtub era. One of my dad's friends had one and I seen an old hull of one today and got to thinking about them. I posted this here since it seems Rick knows everything about every bass hull ever made.

    We believe they were an Oklahoma build and lasted only a few years in the early to mid 1970’s.

    That's the time frame I remember them from, I can remember thinking how cool they looked with that leaping tiger logo of theirs. Now that I'm older I'd be scared to death to run one of those narrow beamed boats across the lake in even semi rough water.

    Power cats were made in Victoria Texas at some point . There was a California company that built all kinds of power cat pleasure boats and they both used the power cat logo or one very similar.
    ka-jac boats were built in bixby,ok

    You may be right gambler4 and that may have been a Texas build. They weren’t around long and were a copy of the BCB DLX tournament hull with lapstrake sides. Oxymoron for a lot of reasons...

    No it was a flat bottom cigar hull originally.
