Kevin @ Cheetah/Carrera....?

LOL, I just came across this thread! Yeah Carrera had a few I'm not very proud of, don't they all....One man's trash is another's treasure! But I'm glad there gone!

We have been laying low, building our empire and getting ready to start building more boats soon! All the molds, Carrera, Aftershock, Cole, Crusader and miscellaneous others have been moved to our shop in Hemet near the airport. We are getting ready to expand our building and make some improvements to our location. We have a few small projects going on, including tooling a new gullwing and the new 275 Cat. I will keep you guys posted on the progress. Thanks for thinking of us, been out of the picture for awhile, I lost my pop's several months ago and it took the wind out of my sails!

Tail, LOLx2, think those are my grown up kids

Thanks for stopping by and welcome. Glad to hear you are working on some new stuff. Look forward to seeing pictures and getting updates. Sorry to hear about your pop's.

Carrera GOOD, Cheatah BAD

Who could I talk to that could answer a few questions about a Cheetah Stiletto?

It's a pretty simple question. I have a friend with a 24' Stiletto. He's been thinking about selling, and it's a pretty cheap price. But my question is...he said at speeds over 50-ish mph it starts to kind of chine walk. Is that typical for this hull, can it be corrected, or is he smoking crack? I have not ridden in the boat.

That would be easy. If it still ran. It has an ECU problem, and that's part of the reason for the price.

I guess my question is more...IF it does chine walk, is that normal for that hull - if so, can it be fixed...and if not, any idea what would be causing it?

He swears it a rough ride. He went for a ride in my 21' tunnel and said he wishes his rode like that. So...I dunno.


I want it because it's really pretty cheap, and a nice open bow. But I know nothing about any Cheetah boats. This one came from a dealership in Colorado. White with blue to purple flames on it; and flames in the seats. Not sure if that was common for them or not.

Kevin,
Did you ever build the 20 fun Effect deck? If so, put up some pictures.
