Thank you, Georgs, for your kind words. In response to your questions, we looked at many power cats, both new and used before we came upon the Prowler. Some of those were PDQ, Endeavor, Lagoon, Scimitar, Afri-Cat, Fountaine Pajot, Logical, and custom designs by Malcolm Tennant and Roger Hill. We can't really say that any of those had features that we especially disliked; some were very "glitzy" and glamorous, some very plain, and some far beyond what we wanted to spend. When we found the Prowler, she offered just the right amount of style that we like, a workable layout, quality construction, and a company whose staff is willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to make modifications to suit every owners needs, and all of this at, what we thought was, a reasonable cost. We are enjoying reading on the list about some cats that we never encountered during our search. I'm sure that there is one or another cat that will tickle anyone's fancy, even though we may each enjoy something different.
