Anyone have any experience with this boat??? like how it handles, what kinds of speeds with a 496ho set up, approximate price.... i cheked them out at the boat show earlier this year, but havent seen anyone on the boards pick one up yet or i havent seen a wrie up on one yet.. unless of course i missed something, which is most likely the case...

the bottom looks "familiar" :wink:
I've only seen one on the water, but it should run very well :D

I asked a guy for a ride , I think he had the first one...
he said sure, bring beer and chicks and he was serious...
needless to say I never got my ride....

I know there were a few at last years regatta... July 30 is the Shockwave Regatta...if you are at Havasu that weekend I am sure you would get your info and probably a ride.
Or call Jenifer or Barry and ask if you could get some name and #'s of the cat owners.
:D :D

IMO its one of the best looking mid sized cats out there.
Last I read, it ran 70 with a stock 496HO. About what you'd expect from a cat that size.

I have been in a closed bow and they are big underneath... Very big for a cat, very nice lines and of course the very nice shockwave touch.....

Just for the record, Barry is NOT the owner of Shockwave and I would highly doubt he would yell you anything to sell you the boat that he did not believe to be true.

I know, hard to believe. But they are a quality MFG. , and it only takes one bad experience to hurt a company of this size, therefore, precluding them from taking this kind of gamble. I think most if not all on these boards could attest to Barry's credibility and honesty.
