We named it today! NEW for 2007

[nodigg]

The all new from the hull up Cheetah "Wild Cat" 26' deck boat with full inner liner.
All new bottom. Not just a streched version of the same old hull.
I am waiting to hear myself exactly what the price is but for about $70k :D
you get the total package with an HO including a bimini, stereo, trailer, built in cooler, walk thru transom style hull, 80 gallon gas tanks, dual batties, your choice of colors of course, electric hatch, built in swim step and a very deep family and kid friendly topside. Stainless rails too and of course lots of storage onboard and room for those subs too.
If you are in the market for a new deck, be sure to include this one when you are narrowing down your choices. If money talks this one screams buy ME!The boat ran 73 with the HO but this has yet to be confirmed by radar or GPS. Mine is getting a GPS speedo so I will let you know asap how the 525 does in it.
Please note: The carpet is just laid down for keeping scratches off the floor while showing the boat.
The upholstery is just a quick job to get one boat tested on the water.

Not sure if that was jab at Cheetah or Revolution but if you
get enough power behind anything well....my fifth wheel will do 89 on the water....:D

[FryJet]

F.J.

[nodigg]

But now I'm curious, has he done a test with an HO yet? For comparison?

DAMMIT! I KNEW he shoulda gone to work for me back when. I could have afforded a DCB by now!

[Mrs.Racer277]

LOL
I figure he makes less then min. wage with the hours he puts in. :confused: :eek: :)

[Jordy]

I wanna be there for that one!!! :D :D :D

[nodigg]

LOL
I figure he makes less then min. wage with the hours he puts in. :confused: :eek: :)
EXACTLY what I was offering him too! Long hours and low pay.....:D

[nodigg]

I wanna be there for that one!!! :D :D :D
I was hoping you would be the throttle man on the maiden run.

[Mrs.Racer277]

EXACTLY what I was offering him too! Long hours and low pay.....:D
The perfect Havi job. :D :D Geez I should have taken it.

[Not So Fast]

But now I'm curious, has he done a test with an HO yet? For comparison?
Bite your tongue young man, a Merc product in a Trident, not in a gazillion bazillion years, that is unless the public wants it.;) NSF

[nodigg]

Everybody wants to live in Havi but the minimum wage dealio kills it for most of us.:sqeyes:

[nodigg]

Oops, everybody exept that DILLIDAD dude that is. F'MOCHOPPY!

I hear ya' but we won't know what he has until he does a base line test.....

[Not So Fast]

I hear ya' but we won't know what he has until he does a base line test.....
I saw the "new deck" the other day, but it was blues and grays as I remember. Definite improvement in the looks dept and for the price they will sell a lot of them IMO. Good Luck with it. NSF

[RP2]

Not a bad looking boat, but that 1980's interior has got to go. They should really focus on updating the WHOLE boat.

[Partycattin]

That's a great looking boat. One of the things I didn't like about the older
Cheetah decks was the lack of storage and "bolt in" seat enclosures.
This one is nice.

[DILLIGAF]

[Todd969]

I saw these the other day. Good looking decks. Congrats Rick, should be another great season:)

[Jrocket]

Froggy's goes 89...........:D
89 can hug my nuts,we piss on that number...its 90ish just for the record.:D

[cc322]

When something like this hits the market and is priced right, it will sell very good. With the cost of some other manufactures boats getting a way on the high side I think we will be seeing a alot of the new Cheetah deck. Looks good

[jayd_jr]

I can't wait till mine gets out of the mold. Anybody want a 24' Cheetah deckboat???? Low hours and only two seasons on it! Oh ya and there is plenty of storage on the older deckboats...

[jrgaudettes]

Wow....Great looking boat, I realy like the look. Congrats.

[nodigg]

Yeah , they just threw together a quick interior for a test ride/first boat. You can get it anyway you want.

[nodigg]

I agree, I thought the 24 (it is) loaded with storage...

[nodigg]

Wow....Great looking boat, I realy like the look. Congrats.
Thanks, Just hope the intereior turns out better than the first one.

I am calling out mythbusters on that one.:D :D
I know 5ers' can handle the speeds on land. But you do know Weekend Warrior's filled with Rhino's are the fastest regardless of tow vehicle. :D
And your right...Wes's latest creation has a bit of HP in front of that merc OD. I also would like to know how fast on real world HP. Something I could afford.
Pics of this new Cheetah?

Nice boat Rick. Looking forward to seeing it at the Laughlin Run.

[shadow]

Congreats Rick,like i said at the show.I've had a look at this boat in person and Cheetah has definately stepped up on this one.Very nice hope you enjoy your new boat.

[nodigg]

Congrats Rick!
Thanks Sr.

[nodigg]

Nice boat Rick. Looking forward to seeing it at the Laughlin Run.
Thanks Dale, I hope she is finished by then. With you and Tom loading down with women this year, I don't think I can find a a spot on either of your boats.:jawdrop: :D

[OGShocker]

Thanks Sr.
Very nice, Rick!
I'll have to go by and look.

[nodigg]

Congreats Rick,like i said at the show.I've had a look at this boat in person and Cheetah has definately stepped up on this one.Very nice hope you enjoy your new boat.
Nice talking with you at the show. I am thinking I may head back up there in a bit today for a closer look downstairs where they keep all the good stuff.

[SHOTKALLIN]

Yeah , they just threw together a quick interior for a test ride/first boat. You can get it anyway you want.
How much extra is it to get the carpet laid with no wrinkles?:D

[BajaMike]

Thanks Dale, I hope she is finished by then. With you and Tom loading down with women this year, I don't think I can find a a spot on either of your boats.:jawdrop: :D
Rick, congradulations...... :) You have any pictures of your new boat??
When do I get a ride??:confused:
:idea: :D

[nodigg]

How much extra is it to get the carpet laid with no wrinkles?:D
That's funny:D The carpet is just for keeping the scratches off the floor when people walk aboard to have a look. Not part of the boat at all. It has a non skid bubble deck finish.

[nodigg]

Rick, congradulations...... :) You have any pictures of your new boat??
When do I get a ride??:confused:
:idea: :D
Thanks Mike. We were down in your hood yesterday for lunch at Hennessey's. Gonna get some more pics tommorrow I hope.

[jayd_jr]

Called ya Saturday no answer.... Must have been in the basement looking at Bobs competition!

[nodigg]

Never got your call. You see anything to get your attention and $$ hat was more of a value that Cheetah?
BTW, I don't think Bob has any competition does he? Even the pontoons are higher priced.

[jayd_jr]

The all new from the hull up Cheetah "Wild Cat" 26' deck boat with full inner liner.
WE NAMED IT? Did you buy shares in Cheetah?:D

[jayd_jr]

Never got your call. You see anything to get your attention and $$ hat was more of a value that Cheetah?
The only one I saw that was comparable in price was the Ultra 26 deck... It was $15,000.00 more. I say Cheetah still for $$$$ to what you get.

[nodigg]

The only one I saw that was comparable in price was the Ultra 26 deck... It was $15,000.00 more. I say Cheetah still for $$$$ to what you get.
So the Ultra 26 is only $85k eqipped like a Wildcat which sells for 70k? I liked it too but it was a lot shallower.

[jayd_jr]

So the Ultra 26 is only $85k eqipped like a Wildcat which sells for 70k? I liked it too but it was a lot shallower.
It was very shallow the front seats were almost on the ground... Very scary for kids.

[boatnam2]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh NO!

[jayd_jr]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh NO!
UUUUUUHHHH Ya!

[nodigg]

I remember saying back in the day "if I can't touch the water when I am sitting in my boat, I am in the wrong boat". Those days are over for me. Give me some freeboard.

[Sin Cal]

Thanks Dale, I hope she is finished by then. With you and Tom loading down with women this year, I don't think I can find a a spot on either of your boats.:jawdrop: :D
Rick don't worry we can make some room if need be. Yes one Cal Poly girl Misty and three of her girl friends from UCLA. Not to mention Lisa and some of her girl friends. Should be a good time had by all:2purples: . Someone will need a bike to ride on:idea:

[SHOTKALLIN]

What about a comparrison between the Domn8er 25 deck and the Cheetah Wildcat? Dory claims his 25 is as big as most peoples 28. I was pretty impressed with the 25. Whats your expert oppinion? Dory also claims that no drywall screws are used on his boats. :D

[boatnam2]

[QUOTE=jayd_jr;2376370]UUUUUUHHHH Ya! well i havent tryed to buy one so i cant really argue but i think the 26ft ultra decked out is more then 85k.

[atomickitn]

hey ! ive actuly seen your boat ,as i have been in and out of cheetah 's and jabberin with bob , your ride looks very cool and should be very fast with that blue motor , ill be bye there next sat to pick up some things of mine from them as they are doing some new interior for me , you should be stooked ... well have a great day mr going fast in a cheetah .. rick :D

[SHOTKALLIN]

Anyone compare this boat to the Domn8ter 25 deck?

[nodigg]

Anyone compare this boat to the Domn8ter 25 deck?
Yup, deeper, faster, very different in the middle and the bottom and different front end among many other things. But hey, since Dominator started with a Cheetah Hull.......I can see where one could think there might be similarities.:) :D

[nodigg]

Good seeing you two last night. I closed 'em down but STILL gotta go back to finish the show.

[Adrenaline]

You've got to be kidding. They did not start with a Cheetah hull.
BTW there is no comparing the two. Read the reviews and look at them and you will see what I mean.

[dicudmore]

You've got to be kidding. They did not start with a Cheetah hull.
BTW there is no comparing the two. Read the reviews and look at them and you will see what I mean.
you're right--they are miles apart on pricing and should be much closer...Dory did used to sell Cheetah boats that his shop rigged so I think technically they did start with a Cheetah hull :wink:

[sponger_2]

any new updates nodigg? i really want to know the mph with that motor.

[BajaMike]

Yea, Rick, any new pics?? How's the speed with the 525? Will this one go over 40mph??
:D :D
