The older Bajo design is what shoalwater markets as their current 21' Cat model.superproboat said:

So then it's an Ultra Cat/Shaolwater Cat knock off.
I have seen alot of tunnel designs and was curious what each one does and how you came up with your idea. Blue Wave has a partial tunnel that is round, Majek Redfish is similar but more square, the Illusion is a combination of full tunnel and partial tunnel.

Looks similar but the ultracat tunnel is wider in the front and tapers off as you get to the rear. Now the top looks similar and if he bought the TV mold from AO boats then that explains the use of the same console.
Scat Cat
For everyone trying to figure out where this boat design came from, We bought the molds from Jack @ Bay Warrior. This was his 20' cat boat called the Salt Shaker. We have changed it only by building it with 100% composite materials. Also the deck design is ours. We just got back from test driving it with a Yamaha 150hp 4stroke. WOW! what a rush!! 50mph with 3 men on board. It drafts 6 inches. turns on a dime, what a hole shot! We've got a 3 blade 19pitch prop on it now. Thinking maybe a 3 blade 21p or a 4 blade 19p may do it even better. We took a video of the hole shot now if someone can tell me how to put it on here that would be great! Thanks for your help.

Now will it hold up as good as Jacks ?
Gotta love the haters...LOL
If memory serves me correct the Bajo came out in '96-'97. It was basically a Laguna made into a cat.scb factory said:The way I understand it, the Bajo 200 SX was designed by Joel in the late 80's-early 90's and built by Shoalwater.
I was wondering if Paradog was going to put his 2 cents in!
Ofcourse that's all it was worth..... 2 cents....

WE ARE IN HOUSTON TODAY WITH A YELLOW 20ft CAT SHOWING DEALERS.IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BOAT GIVE ME A CALL ,AND I WILL BE GLAD TO MEET WITH YOU 830-388-0325 THANKS
Don't know what all is changed from the Salt Shaker but the smaller console is going to be much better for fishing around for sure. After being in one numerous times I can say that for sure. The boat does do shallow water very, very well. Don't understand the 150 max though. A 175 yamaha with the TRP option would be the ticket. The 150 TRP works great for sure.
The Scat Cat is rated for up to a 175hp. ( I'll change the specs on the website to reflect that.) A 150hp Yamaha 4stroke seemed to push it just fine @ 50mph. We're going to put a 115hp on our next one to see how it performs. If it works out it will be a sweet package for under $30k.
This is the yellow Scat Cat we are putting a 115hp on. Talked to Neil @ Red Man Guide Service out of Sea Drift who's got a Salt Shaker & he loves the performance of these boats. He said he would be glad to take someone out if they were interested in the Scat Cat. Call Neil @ 512-496-3256 cell

i like the forward deck and where you put the hatches. I would think they would less likely be stepped on at the spot providing more use before they break- it is hard keeping those things from breaking. no offense but i want to see a more attractive color than yellow or red- sorry i had to find something to complain about or it wouldnt be a valid post
lookin good,
still not crazy about the under bow running lights, looks like a maintenance headache.
white light on tall mast post on top of console to be legal. same for the popup cleats, maybe offer them as an option.
maybe a large center molded glass bow hatch with a long piano hinge and a lip over the back, big enough to get life jackets and duffle bags into and do away with the other 2 ? these style boats always hurt for storage.
then add a 6" deck plate up front to get to troll motor mount
center console needs to be "2-man wide" as we discussed
maybe consider a hinged plexi cover for the switches or since they appear to be recessed , move down to the vert. surface below
move tow eyes to outside corners so a bridle wont rub on the motor

The trolling motor pad is to small, the cleats wont pop up after a 1yr glass the console to the floor those few screws wont stay in it long at all.
