I have one with outboards. Love it. When I first built it I put an i/o in it ran good . It's a talon bottom. Handles really good
Mine is a heavy build and I like it that way. NO shakes or rattles at all. I think Johnny built them all heavy. They are a pretty low profile boat. Btw alot of the cats out there ate based off talon bottom. Magic, conquest , Howard 26, American offshore, and a few more.
Johnny still on parole? My neighbor booked him on all his fraud back in early 2000’s.
Had another neighbor that owned one of the 26’ cats. He was happy with it other than some stress cracks on the deck at two years old. His was all white with black around dash. It’s been sold a few times.
