Seen those a few times.
Always heard that they were terrible deals.
A couple Cigs pretty much split in half as an experiment w/o very good results.
I also saw a Checkmate 28 foot cat
assuming rare and for good reason

01-15-2012 10:45 AMThe word is that Checkmate had another company design the mold. Supposed to have made one I/O and some outboard ones. He is asking too much for this one considering the shape it appears to be in.

a guy once told me they were worth the value of the drivetratin in them less the cost to remove it.

01-16-2012 05:46 PMI remember T2x's quote when he was chatting years ago. Still have it in my old notes. He was commenting about how Aronow took a Cig, cut it in half, and made the tunnel with no design work at all......
Here's what Rich said way back about the big Cats....
Slow, Ugly, Over rated, Badly designed, But huge.
