[PCW] Shoal Cat

[Alan Bliss]

For several years I've been curious about these small, sturdy power  
cats built in Jacksonville, Florida by American Marine (unrelated to  
the builders of Grand Banks). Last fall I bought one, ten years old,  
and have been working through its deferred maintenance. So far I've  
been satisfied with its performance. It gets around well on the flats,  
is smooth and capable in a rough chop, and is economical to run.  
Apparently these were built in 17.5 foot and 20 foot versions. If  
anyone on the list has one, or knows anything about them and their now- 
defunct builder, I'd like to hear about it.
