The Super Cutthroat is simple a Cutthroat 1 or 2 that has 19 inch diameter tubes instead of 16 inch diameter tubes. Jack's can put 19 inch diameter tubes on a cutthroat 1 also.

Jack's boats are all made in New Mexico, and can be custom built to customer length, width and tube size specifications, in ultra tough blue or grey PVC.  They all come with a 10 year warranty

]]> <![CDATA[Jack's Plastics Culebra]]> Jack's Plastics"]]> Jack's Culebra is paddled R2 style. The cross tubes on top of the cat keep the main tubes ridgid in all water conditions. This boat can be unlaced for even easier transport. The Culebra measures 11 ft long, 65 inches wide, and weighs 46 lbs. It rolls up into a package that can be smaller than 33 X 12 X 24, depending on how well you roll it. Remember to take the cam straps off between the cross tubes and the main tubes during transport.

]]> <![CDATA[Jack's Plastics Dragonfly Raft]]> Jack's Plastics"]]> Jack's boats are all made in New Mexico, and can be custom built to customer length, width and tube size specifications, in ultra tough blue or grey PVC. The drop stitch floor on the Dragonfly provides the best hull speed of any inflatable fishing boat on the market. It glides over the top of the water and tracks extremely well, because the floor is recessed up inside the main tubes 3 inches. 
 
 This is a great boat for R2. Put one paddler on each side and have a ball. With the right paddle captain, you can really surf this boat to your hearts content. It is a great little cargo boat also. It can easily carry three 250-LB people and their gear for a weeklong trip.  Dragonfly has 4 chambers in the main tube.  Jack's Plastics boats come with a 10 yr. unlimited warranty and are built in the USA.

]]> <![CDATA[Jack's Plastics Fat Pack Cat]]> Jack's Plastics"]]> Jack's Fat Pack Cat is the next step up from a Pack Cat. It weighs 42 lbs. with the frame, and is a bit wider, at 42 inches, because of the larger tube diameters. The larger tubes give the boat more maneuverability, stability, and cargo capacity. This boat can be used by people weighing over 300 lbs., and can still carry all of the gear you would need for a weeklong trip. The Cutthroat and Fat Cats have the same tube diameters. They can use each other's frame. The Fat Cat packs down into a slightly larger package than a Pack Cat, making it ideal for airline travel as well.

]]> <![CDATA[Jack's Plastics Pack Cat]]> Jack's Plastics"]]> The pack cat is the boat that started the paddle cat revolution. Jack's decided that the same reason catarafts perform better than rafts, should apply to inflatable kayaks and paddle cats. Lighter weight, increased maneuverability, instant self-bailing, and easier transportation are the main reasons why this could be the boat for you. The pack cat is only 30 lbs. with the frame, and can be packaged up into a very small space. It is excellent for travel on airlines. We have many customers who take these boats with them on vacation to Mexico, Australia, or just about anywhere there is water and an airport. The light weight makes them easy to pack in or out of a river. If you have a sense for adventure, the Pack Cat will take you places where no other boat can go. It is guaranteed to do lower stream flows with larger gear loads than any other craft on the market. This includes all makes of kayaks and canoes. Jack's should know. They built it to run the rivers of the southwest, and there are some real nice runs that can be done in pack cat with ease, or another boat with a struggle.

]]> <![CDATA[Jack's Plastics Cutthroat 2]]> Jack's Plastics"]]> Jack's Plastics' Cutthroat 2 is 2 feet longer than the Cutthroat 1, and can carry more cargo and people. This boat has the capacity to take 2 people and all the gear they would want on a week long trip. It can be paddled or rowed. And there are 4 different places to locate the oar stands along the frame. Why mess with a ducky, when you can have a truly maneuverable surfing, fishing, and cargo machine.Optional motor transom available.

]]> <![CDATA[Jack's Plastics Cutthroat 1]]> Jack's Plastics"]]> The Cutthroat 1 is the little sports car of rowing catarafts. It is small enough to slip down some very tiny rivers, and it is big enough to be able to handle big water (if your skills are up to it). The frame includes a mesh seat and two mesh floors. If you want to take an extra person with you, simply purchase an extra seat. If you want to use it like a canoe remove the oar stands from the frame, and paddle with canoe paddles, or use a kayak paddle. The frame makes for easy loading and tie down of gear. Even with a huge gear load, this boat remains extremely maneuverable. They are perfect for trips where you want to take your own boat and are self supported. Why mess with a ducky, when you can have a truly maneuverable surfing, fishing, and cargo machine.
