welcome to iboats.......

Google USCG MIC DATA and you will get access to all the boat manufacturer's, some of the ownership history and other info (ie out of business dates)

For Decals you may have some luck if you check out www.vinylapproach.com. I just looked and they don't have cheetah but they've added a lot of new decals lately so they'd probably be able to come up with something. I haven't ordered from them yet but their work seems pretty accurate to original.

thanks for the link I've searched alot but we made a tracing of the original cheetah logo before pulling it off, so if we have to we can just go have it cut locally its a really simple sticker but nobody makes them, but im far from needing the stickers at the moment their my last worry at this point of the project

I think that there were two seperate Cheetah boat lines. I had a '80's Cheetah that was made in Tennessee (according to the placard), and when I did some recent research there seemed to be another Cheetah line made somewhere out west. Maybe someone can help you if we knew which Cheetah you are asking about?

Happy boating!

My 84 "Cheetah" was made by a company called B&D manufacturing in Illinois. They named their line of boats Cheetah for years but went out of business in 2000. Totally different company than the builders of the offshore speedsters. I assumed they were still building boats, but could be wrong. I'm sure it's a very low volume business they have.

Chris - I also have a Cheetah made by B & D. Mine is a 175V Bass Boat.
