New to me 1997 Sport Cat 13

I've been casually looking around for a boat and after missing out on a few candidates I bought this last week. It's a 1997 Sport Cat by Sterling, 13 feet center console. 15 HP 2 stroke Yami and a 32 lb transom mount trolling motor. I have found precious little information on them but seems like it could be a good platform. I'm already considering a few upgrades but need to get some time on the water first which looks like it could be a problem for a while.

I'm eager to hear what any of you may know about these boats. I'm excited to get it wet.

Looks like a solid rig. We're you able to run the boat before you bought it?

Reminds me of the Livingston boats and those are awesome for their size.

I was able to see the motors run, but not get out on the water which I'm itching to do and probably will be for a while. It does look very much like a Livingston 14, with the added advantage of a flat floor. Most of the mods I'm thinking of are inspired by researching Livingston modifications. Attached are some more photos. Attachment 15614Attachment 15615Attachment 15616

Endless possibilities. Should be fun customizing it to fit your needs. Hope you post your mods as you go. Enjoy your boat!
