What Customers Say
about the CraigCat
"Hi Erik:
This is just a short letter to say thanks. The ease in ordering my boat, the delivery
by "Roy" and the first time I took it out simply topped off an enjoyable endeavor. I get a lot of stares and "conversation"
that makes me glad I watched your DVD's and followed your narration to the letter, so then I can talk like a pro about CraigCat.
I have contacted a marina to perform any regular maintenance to be done.
It seems he can't wait to start, seeing how he is a certified Mercury mechanic and has never seen a CraigCat. Instead
of trying to explain my CraigCat to anyone, I just pass your website around. Whenever a CraigCat dealer should open
in Oklahoma, man, it should be a hit!
I'm not privileged to have a lot of nice days at present here, but I expect to
be a weekly fixture on our lake in the spring and summer. I'll gander at your website from time to time looking for
any special deals I might be interested in. Well, again, I have said enough!"
Sincerely,
Lee H. ~Celina. TX
"Attn: Robert Craig
I got interested in your boat after seeing a TV commercial but when I went to look for a dealer
I found that there were none even close to north west Ohio, where I live. I then called you and soon after received a call
from Ramona Amormino from Canada. I asked her about test-driving one of these boats and she invited me to Windsor to try a
CraigCat. She gave excellent directions to her place and called her husband to show me all the features of this boat. We then
went to a lake to try the boat. The whole thing took several hours of their time and after I left I had a good idea of what
this boat could do. I later ordered a boat and they met me half way from Canada to make the final transaction. The reason
I am telling you this is to inform you of how courteous and service oriented CraigCat Canada is. They went above what I expected
and throughout the sale answered all my questions. I had some problems registering the boat in Ohio but with Ramona's help
was able to complete this. I would recommend CraigCat Canada to anyone in this area that would ever be interested in buying
one of these boats. Oh, yes we also love the boat."

"Just wanted you guys at CraigCat to know you build one of the best boats that I have ever
used , I live in Michigan bought the boat in 2003 and have had nothing but fun with it , we take it down rivers and on big
lakes, the boat has not had a easy life its on the go a lot (1800 hours), I'm 60 years old and what I like is that it is easy
to get on and off and cheap on fuel, I also run a trolling motor on it and because the way it sits on the water my battery
lasts along time. This is the best boat that I have ever bought thanks people keep up the good work!"
Bill D. ~Michigan
It was a great pleasure meeting you, and thank you for the kind attention to my purchase of the CraigCat
Fishing Model. I have not had one problem with this boat, and can't wait to put it on the flats this summer for speckled
trout, and red fish tournaments. Robert, as we spoke in your office you were telling me how this boat, "Puts The Fun Back
In Boating!". I now understand what you were talking about and this statement PERFECTLY describes your product. After the
first time out, I brought it home, rinsed it off, flushed the motor, and within 5 minutes of arriving, it was back in the
garage, ready for the next trip. It just can't get any easier than this, unlike my other boat, (My 17' Center Console
Proline is going up for sale at the end of this month). I have had your boat out about 6 times now, and as you had mentioned,
It draws a load of attention each time. People have actually been waiting for me at the ramp when I return to ask me 100's
of questions about the boat, how it handles, were did it come from, ect., ect.
The boat itself is amazing. It handles great, and seems to run forever on that one tank of fuel. People have come out of the
waterfront restaurants, and local homes along the canals to wave and comment on the craft.
I am an associate member of the local crew called "Pirates Of Lost treasure" and we put on a Mardi Gras
Floatilla on 02/18/06 to raise money for various charity events.
I had lived in New Orleans for 8 1/2 years, and had assisted in building M/G Floats so I knew what the crowds would like,
so I decorated the CraigCat and launched with 12 other various decorated boats in our crew as
we rode up and down the canal throwing beads, and being cheered by the thousands of spectators. The CraigCat
was a crowd favorite, and the spectators were floored at the way this vessel handled, along with its simplicity, and
speed. Thank you again for providing such a GREAT product, and it was a pleasure visiting your shop and actually meeting the
both of you. Keep up the great work."

"I would like again to thank you and your family for the warm reception and briefing.
It is great to deal with somebody that is interested in making sure you understand the product you are buying. Thanks
again.
Could not get out of one rest stop for people wanting to know about the boat.
They just kept coming. I passed out literature and cards to those that seemed sincere. Could not keep up with
there names but no sweat about that..."
Leroy ~Covington, Georgia
"I Purchased a CraigCat when I was in Puerto Rico in 1998, and was as happy as a flea in a
hippie commune with the performance of that little boat! So happy, in fact, that I bought 8 more for sale and rental."...
Steve~Kurtistown, Hawaii
"We absolutely LOVE the CAT. It is the perfect application for St. Joe Bay. We
are able to raise the kicker and push it out on low tide. It will go with a couple of inches of water. Our SEADOO's
can't do that, nor can you use them when the floating grass is thick, like it is from July to January. What a unique
and functional boat!"
Dan~Port St. Joe, Florida
"I recently purchased a CraigCat model E2. I must say, this is one of the
most versatile and surprising craft that I have ever owned. I had sold my last 3 craft because of the limited mobility
of my wife. She was unable to get into the boats. After going to Orlando for a test ride, we found that she was
able to board this craft with ease. The simple design as well as the sheer comfort of the craft was unbelievable.
We dearly loved this craft and decided to purchase. I really must commend both the thought put into the development
of this fun craft as well as the service that you and your staff put forth to us. You have definitely put the "Fun Back
In Boating" for us. We can not thank you enough. My wife has already planned several excursions for us.
Great going."
An e-mail sent at a later date.
"This has been the best and most versatile craft my wife and I have ever had
the pleasure of owning and showing. It is quite a crowd pleaser. This is not a craft for introverts as you are
asked too many questions from onlookers. Thank you again. "
David & Teri~Tampa, Florida
"After watching your promo film for the millionth time, a couple of things
were said at the very beginning that really hit me... (After I got the boat and used it.) They are- that it's hard to
describe, how do you describe it? But the main thing is that it really turns heads!
I've owned many boats, but I've never had people in $50,000 and up boats
looking at a boat that I've owned smile and give thumbs up. I've also had jet skiers ride up to me and tell me how cool
my boat is. Because of the design and the 25 h.p. motor it really flies, but unlike a jet ski, you can cruise down the
river or lake at a nice leisurely speed.
Transporting the CraigCat is like towing nothing, even with my 4cyl. Chevy
Prism, and launching it is easier than launching a row boat. The "goal posts" on my trailer make it simple to take it
out of the water.
I was very apprehensive about buying a boat that I didn't actually see,
except for pictures, but the CraigCat is much more striking in person than in any picture. It performs way beyond
my expectations, and the bonus is that it's great on gas. Very simply put, the CraigCat is not only my favorite boat
that I have ever owned, but it is my favorite boat that I have ever been on."
Bob~Ludlow, Massachusetts
"Stew and I would like to thank you all for all the joy that you have brought to us by creating
the CraigCat. We love it. We have been on it so much in the last 2 weeks that we haven't taken out our big boat.
I have had some back problems and the CraigCat doesn't bother me even in Lake Simcoe's choppy water."
..."People compliment it all the time and remark how unique it is. We spend whole afternoons
giving people rides in the marina. Even the dogs can't wait to get on it."
..."Again, thank you. We have seen parts of the lake we weren't able to get to before.
And we can't wait to take it up to Geogain Bay next year. It is one of the largest, most beautiful lakes in Southern
Ontario."
Stew and Bev~Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
"Just wanted to let you know that the CraigCat is everything that she lives up to...We are
so delighted with the craftsmanship...We have taken her out several times, and have gotten a good response. She handles
great!"
Bob and Pam~Allison Park, Pennsylvania
"The CraigCat is the most exciting new water-sport boat I have seen come to the boating market
yet. It offers an excellent balance of safety, reliability, stability and exhilarating fun. Easy to transport and very economical
to operate. The CraigCat bridges the gap between the PWC and a family sport fishing boat. As a veteran boater for over 20
years I give the CraigCat my highest recommendation."
Brian N~ Colorado
"On Sunday September 2nd we launched the boat at Rio Vista in the Sacramento
River Delta. The conditions were winds about fifteen to twenty miles an hour out of the West. This wind will cause
chop on the river to run around two feet on the outgoing tide. I was very impressed with the way the boat handled the
rough water. I ran the boat for around three hours covering around forty miles of the river.
On Labor Day my wife and I took the boat North of Sacramento, again to run in
the Sacramento River. The conditions were just perfect, no chop and flat water. The boat again surprised us with
it's performance. It stayed flat and stable even while crossing the wakes of passing boats. My wife and I found
the boat to be very comfortable and safe. The boat is a real "HOOT".
I found the twenty five horsepower motor to be just amazing. The motor starts
almost always on the first try. The fuel consumption is great. Covering forty miles on Sunday in rough conditions
the motor consumed just over two gallons of fuel. Labor Day the boat run was around forty five miles consuming again
around the same amount of fuel.
To say the least we are impressed with Craig Catamaran and so are the people
who come in contact with the boat. If you would send me some business cards to me in California. I will pass them
out to people who ask me about the boat. This may be of benefit to you since almost everyone has seen the boat has talked
to me about the boat. The group who seems to ask the most questions are the owners of personal water craft and the owners
of large boats over thirty feet in length.
I have not found any problems with the boat. If I do I will inform you.
The boat seems to be well made and do not see any problems with it. Thank you for building a well made and fun boat."
Sincerely,
Michael and Patricia~Sacramento California
"I recently took the CraigCat into the ocean off the New Jersey shore for the first time. It
handled beautifully. My friend was a little nervous until we came upon a school of dolphin swimming along side of us. We could
almost reach out and touch them. He told me later that is was an experience of a lifetime. The CraigCat was professional the
whole ride. Everyone on the beach was watching us. It's the talk of the Jersey shore right now."
Joe M~ New Jersey
"Last Saturday we had the CraigCat out to play lifeguard for the annual YMCA Lake Michigan
swim. The Cat performed beautifully. The looks that we got from the other boaters was something else. Lots of thumbs up from
people. Two weeks ago I took the CraigCat out on Lake Michigan to do some steelhead fishing. It started out as a calm day
and I caught two steelhead. A few hours later the wind started blowing and the sky was getting dark. I was amazed, I was running
into 5' waves and sometimes larger but the CraigCat kept tracking true and clean. It took me a little over three hours to
get back and the looks on people's faces along the breakwater was something to see. I would take the boat out again in seas
like that because I had no problem at all. It was fun, lots of fun."
Adam G~Michigan
"We have been pleased by the acceptance in our area for the CraigCat. All the kids in our area
really love this "Little Cat." We have been out on Lake St. Clair in all types of water conditions (mostly rough) and the
CraigCat has done very well. It is very stable, has a smooth ride for it's size, it's economical to run and is a great alternative
to "personal watercraft." Most of all, it's fun to ride and feel secure too."
