The cat is a 12ft two man with welded 1"steel tube framing. Tubes are 20" Maxxons. Its solid enough to handle the water. I grew up on the Trask and have imagined doing the drift for years, just never had the right craft to do it. The NFN is a different story though. Scouted the Jack, King and Queen the other day, unfortunately the flows were at summer levels. I will have to go back and take another look at it now that the water is up.
