Just added one yesterday. The server that my old ones were on no longer exists.

That is awesome. A Cat may have to be my next build :)
I should also mention that on the 19' Spira Quintana that I modified I put the outboard on a transom pod that I also built similar to what you see...
My personal recommendation is not to put an inboard into a panga of that design. I have built two of the Spira Pangas and I believe that you will...
I should also mention that I lengthened the boat to 22' from the original 19' and have widened the beam to 8'9". I did the beam stretch by adding...
Hi, didn't realize the server that was hosting my photos is down. Here is a YouTube link with some videos from July. Since then I have finished...

Great job. There is a cat very similar to yours being finished up in Costa Mesa, California. I have been watching its progress for a while and...
I have used Bondo Body Filler as a fairing compound on two small boats and a trailer with great success. The only down side is that I think you...
Just finished my 12' Bahia Panga and am now starting on my 19' Quintana Panga plans that I just ordered from spirainternational.com. I'll be...
