header69 and all thanks for the input. I don't plan on pulling plugs or for the most part fishing from the boat. I 99.999% fly fish, so the purpose of the boat is store gear and move me from place to place while taking up as little space and not needing a trailer. That is the reason I am think puma (ish) but now you guys have me thinking cat (ish). Any places to look for new or used cats that might be good deals? someone mention TMS? where are they, I also checked the NWRA site and will check back.

regards
