    aerodyne history

    hello im new here and was looking for any history on my cajun
    i have owned a '86 cajun aerodyne for about 4/5 years now
    i have been searching internet for almost that long trying to find some history such as how many were made or how rare my model boat is
    i have only found 1 other like mine, and its an '85
    any help would be greatly appreciated as i would just like to know more about what i own
    it has a special hull design like a tri-hull with 2 tunnels down the hull
    i love this boat and enjoy it very much
    i was told it was designed for high speed on places like rivers for turning on a dime at speeds, which it does very well
    this bass boat looks like a race boat of some sort with its stance and hull design and the 89 johnson gt 200 out back
    thank you all for any help with some history and/or facts on my boat

    A buddy of mine had one. He ran a 200 Mariner on it, and it would pass most anything on the water. I rode in it one day (didn't drive it) and it buried the speedometer (80 mph top). Now that was a speedometer speed. No idea how fast it was really going, but I had to hold my hand over my nose to make it easy to breathe. It would turn like it was on rails.

    It wasn't a very good fishing boat I understand. I never fished out of his. We were in the same club, and since we were both boaters, we never got paired up, but others told me it rode rough, and they said the live wells were shallow, and would beat the fish (and the riders) to death in rough water. True or not, I have no idea.

    I don't think I ever saw but two of them, his, which I believe was an '87 but may have been an '86, and one other one. His was red by the way. As I said in the other post, the hull was a more or less copy of a Stratos hull from a few years before, and Shadow also built a boat on the same basic hull design.

    The tunnel hull fad was just that. They never really caught on with the average fisherman and they faded into a footnote in bass boat history.

    The Aerodyne was a well built boat though. It should serve you well.
