Just about every time I go fishing up there I stop in and see Bruce, I've seen some of the cart Ideas your right Way Cool. I can't wait to try one out they look awsome and have fetures I've never seen before. Way to go Bruce. When do we get a cup holder and C.D. player

In the pwc world, we use carts to launch pwc directly into the surf. They have big balloon tires and push easily over the sand.

They should look into those big balloon tires.

Sorry about that non sponsor link. :blush: My intentions were to turn Water Ready onto those wheels as a supplier. It wasn't to steal business from them. I really didn't even think of that. :blush:

I hope you enjoy your cat Jennie.

Default Rapid Cats... FOR ME TO DEMO? :) COOL!

Water Ready is building me a cat to try, that I can move with a cart. I borrowed one from Shane, but found that I wasn't able to haul it safely, so they are developing a new system called "Cat Tracks" for me to haul it with. I can't wait to see! :smile:

Then he is working on the anchor system.

Look at the pics! COOLNESS!

Hi Jennie,
Almost there with the Rapidcat Cataraft for you to Demo. Need to know how you would like it set up. On mine, I have a foot release anchor system with a scotty rodholder positioned for pullen' plugs. I have sent pictures so you can look at also and let me know what would work best for you.
We have developed a wheeled cart for you to get the cataraft to the water with ease. I am so glad we started this project of wheels for you. We are now getting ready to market this product for all sizes of catarafts. We call it "Cat Tracks". Cannot wait to show you. I would like to plan a trip up in the next few weeks to meet with you and bring your new ride. I am hoping that it is something that you can use a bunch. The picture I am sending is a 12' pontoon with the dlx frame and accessories. The cat I will be bringing up is 11' blue toons, with powdered coated frame.
I build my boats with fishermen and fisher-women in mind and love input and hope you will share good and bad points with my Cats. I have lots of ideas, but after reading ifish, I pale in comparison to all that share theirs. Different types of fishing and a ton of ideas to implement. I will give you a call next week to set up a date and time to come and meet you.
Thanks again for allowing me to advertise on ifish.
Bruce Bittler

So, what kind of anchor system, you guys? :smile: I'm excited!!!

I looked for a :greenwithenvy: graemlin but nada. That is the first cat I've seen that I've really liked. The foot pegs that most of them have are great but floorboard would be nice when nit rowing. That anchor system rocks too!

Now, I wonder if he has a Lay-z-boy option for the rowing seat? Not that the one it comes with doesn't look comfy enough.
