I think a great starting cat boat for a Zenoah G260 would be an Aeromarine Avenger. I have heard they are great quality and handling boats. I have no personal experience with one, but I hope to be getting one with my tax return money

They are very nice boats....i would not go with that boat for your first cat. They blow over if you dont have them dialed in. Just take that to note.

It won't be his first Cat as he already owns a TC-31,
There's a lot of good ones to choose from right now. The Stryker, Insane, Seaducer, Aeromarine and AC all have boats that are capable of winning anywhere.
You had a good look at alot of them at the Gas Nat's when you were in the retrieve boat, go for the ones that you didn't have to pull out of the water!
Just kiddin' about the last part as the water was terrible there at times.
Me, I'm cheap so I've been looking at the Falcon 41.

I think you hit it right there Ron. I was in the other retrieval boat at the Gas Nat last year. And one thing I do know was I picked up quite a few Avenger cats and Conquest cats from blowing over. And they were just pure hell to pull out after taking in so much water inside these deep hull. I'm a noob, so I won't go for these 2, just MHO.
It's always fun to start shopping for the next one,

Mark Levac is working on the blowing off problem of the Aeromarine Cat's. He's trying moving the strut under the hull instead of behind it. That was the same trouble that the old Offshore Model Boats had and what seemed to be the cure.

If you like cats with extended transom, you might wanna check out the Offshore Supercat. Eddie B. stopped making them so they're a little harder to find. I got one and love it. Also check out this link [link]http://www.jrcbd.com/showthread.php?t=13858[/link]. It's a pretty good price.
