I know we are supposed to use the ads section for this, but I figure I can get away with this one time for the hundreds of info posts I've contributed here. From my used driftboat thread:

Thanks much guys. I had 2 reasons posting my used driftboat thread. For general interest of readers. And because I am thinking about selling or trading my barely used cataraft for a used drifboat. I thought I would use the cat much more than I have. None of my fishing friends down here have cats, they prefer to go in driftboats. And I haven't had enough opp to come up to cat rivers with WA guys like Jerry D. and Osprey. So I have only had it out 4 times - NF Nehalem, Kilchis, Wilson, and the upper Trask (Marty M. and I decided not to float the Hoh due to lack of fish, and took his boat out of Sekui instead). For anyone interested in it, it's a Don Hill McKenzie Cat; one of the very best on the market. It's the 10.5' larger premium tube version; made from the best material and double layered on the bottom. It has a 2 padded seat aluminum frame with diamond plate flooring, sliding rowing seat and adjustable oarlock positions for using with one person or 2. It has built on zippered storage bag compartments. It has a pulley anchor system with pyramid lead anchor, and comes with a pair of top grade fiberglass oars and a folding spare oar. It also has a motor mount at the rear of the frame. It was the best cataraft I found at the Portland outdoor show at the Expo last year so I bought it. It doesn't have a scratch on it, even on the bottom. This whole package retails for around $2900 new. I don't know what it's worth, but I would think $2200 dollars in trade on a properly priced used driftboat. And I'd throw in a cataraft rowing lesson on a float with you if requested. If interested, e-mail me at reeltruth1@home.com Thanks. - RT

Edit: I checked around and found all cataraft prices have come down some, due to competition, so adjusted my figures.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk. You head should be hung low in shame young man. How dare ye turn his back on the cataraft society. It's sacreligious I tell you. I must sit in a moment of silence while I contemplate what to so next. Next thing you'll be telling us is that you're a PETA enthusiast and are selling all your fishing rods. (I get first dibs on them ya'll )

Couldn't tell you the worth of it RT. You may get a taker.

Sorry Jerry. I discovered I want a driftboat. The cats are fun and versatile in being able to run where driftboats can't, but I need room to take more people fishing. You'll still take me on yours won't ya? ... I found my prices were a bit high so adjusted them. - Steve

Is this part of you're therapy...
Getting rid of all you're inflatables ...Os

Yes it is Os. Are you taking 'good care' of the lifesize inflatable blond I gave you?
