Ok, well here is the Sharkcat ... 700 series Hardtop, with a single volvo sterndrive. 200hp Turbo, to a 290 leg with duoprop.
The boat is 7m or 23 ft.
It was originally a rescue boat, and has more recently been a spanner crabbing boat, out of Mooloolaba I am led to believe.
It was in terrible cosmetic condition when we bought it, but it is mechanically and structually sound.
The leg needs new seals, which will be done very soon.
As most people know, I work on boats for a living, and still thoroughly enjoy playing with boats in my spare time, boating in general, and love game fishing.
So, following the Yalta Odessa 2000, this is our next project.
The basic shape / structure / setout of cabin etc is in my opinion faultless, so we are not intending to do any major fibreglass modificatoins.
It will be totally refitted, repainted and fitted out with a good electronics package. Most probably Raymarine.
The idea is to create an awesome fishing platform for game and bottom fishing that can also be used for family weekends on the bay.
These are pics of the boat as we bought it.
I welcome any comments or ideas as we do the boat up.
Cheers
Pete

At least i know the gps that i got from you Pete wasn't stolen.
Was just thinking about the cat and wanted to know what year you reckon it was built in?If it was late 70's there is a good chance my mother did the final detail on it and my labrador was tied to it in Bruce Harris's yard on Brisbane road Labrador.Whilst i being a kid rolled around getting itchy in all of his boats on the production line every saturday morning
Wouldn't mind helping you on this one, as it is my goal to own a Brucey. Plus i have no life.
