A few days ago I was at the beach in Asbury Park, NJ and saw what
appeared to be a homebuilt power cat heading south along the coast. On
a hunch I headed down to Manasquan inlet and sure enough it came in to
the inlet.....probably heading south via intracoastal waterway for the
winter. I estimate it was approx 30 ft. long and did not look like any
commercially made cat I know of. Looking thru binoculars I saw it had
a wheelhouse like an old fashioned tug and a a box shaped cabin behind
the wheelhouse....had ME (Maine?) registration numbers but I wasn't
thinking fast enough or I would have made a note of the numbers. I
took a short video with my cell phone camera....not very clear and
detailed but good enough to get an idea what it looks like....but I'm
not "computer/internet" literate enough to know how/where to post it
so group members can see it and maybe provide more info about this
interesting craft. Any advice on how to do so will be
appreciated.....or email me direct and I can email the file direct to
anyone interested. Thanks.

"power cat" in the search box.

Post a direct link. All I found were commercials or documentaries on
commercial craft.
