Here are some photo's my brother had scanned to his computer. Dad bought this in 1977, we are second owners. The first owner added the FB (I think Dennis Pluckybaum did it) which was va great modification. R.I.P. George Garcia

NICE BOAT!!!! TWOKEELS, These Cats just keep turning up!! I can tell already she is a great handleling girl. I notice the 4 blade wheels on her!!! I have tried both the 4 blade and the 3 blade wheels, I run the 4 blade for the bite and keep the 3 blade as spares. I do get a little more speed at top end out of the 3 blade. I dock in a 10 knot current in my slip with ease!!! What is cruise and beam? Great looking boat ,have FUN!!! Sorrydog

Thanks all! Trontek I don't think they put the round porthole in the Sedan. I'm sure you're loving the Cat. SorryDog I've admired yours on the site before. We run 440 Chryslers and if all is right we can hit 38 MPH per the GPS. We use to dock on a seawall heading upstream and if you got it at just the right angle you could step away fro the helm and it would dock itself! The beam is 16' I think they all were as far as I've seen. Pete Kopcsak who was the head of Ingram Barge Line use to have a 40 like her in Nashville but I'm not sure where it is now. I'll try to post some current photos along with interiors soon The layout is like the brochure that you and FastJeff put on here. Happy Boating!

Great! The "Admiral" requested that after seeing the photos.

TwoKeels, In the top pic of your cat, under way(or is it weigh) - what(or who) is that standing on the port side. It's(their) facial pallor looks as tho it(they) have been there since 1963! Also doesn't appear to be enough room for them(it) to be standing on the cabin roof and he(it) doesn't look to be tall enough to be standing on the catwalk....I have that photo as my wallpaper now - hope it's ok with you.
