    AirCat Brochure

    All,

    Takuriver, from the SA forum, has scanned a very old 24 page Hurricane Fiberglass Tomcat Aircat Airboats brochure, and made it available for all of us to see.

    http://www.takuriver.com/HurricaneFiberglassBrosure.htm

    I "think" that I read somewhere that the brochure was printed in 1972. I may be wrong about that.

    Interesting stuff there...

    Duane,

    Thanks for posting that link, I may not have seen it over on SA.

    Another fellow from SA sent me a similiar brochure a while ogo, but this one is more complete.

    After looking it over, I am quite sure my boat is the "Alleycat", even though the measurements don't quite line up right May have been an earlier (or later) version.

    Dave,

    I figured that you'd be interested in that brochure. Aircat, Alleycat, Tomcat, Fatcat...

    There seems to have been a LOT of cats, huh?

    I've been thinking about a name for my boat. I've got these 4 nice Pepe Le Pew decals, (enough for the rudders and transom) so I think that I'm going to name it "Striped Cat".

    Or maybe not... What about "Steenkin' Cat"?
