If yours is a later T-Cat the stock AC skis are really not that bad. Keep in mind you have a lot of weight up front on the big Cat. Before you go out and spend a bunch on some aftermarket skis why not try a little more carbide first. Back when I owned a T-Cat skis were the least of my worries.
Lol I hear ya I am running 8" carbides now curious what other concerns did you have with the t-cat? I am about to replace the plastic piece that the torsion spring slides into down to the rail those things really wear out. The carbs are in great shape and just replaced primary clutch seems to be ready. My next big project will be the chain case next year.

OTE=fastmax05;164870]curious what other concerns did you have with the t-cat? Back in the later years of the T-Cat many of us had problems with the rear suspension. Basically the holes in the rails would egg out and the suspension would finally break a rail or a crosslink. You really have to keep after those bolts. We even safety wired them aircraft style but that is a lot of work. After that, we tried many tracks. Most T-Cats were 121's and it was eternally hard to get them to hook up. There are many more track choices now than there were 10 years ago. Also the air boxes were a pure pain to take off and put on. Many of us put on aftermarket boxes just to save our knuckles. I miss the sound of the old T-Cat. There is really nothing quite as horny sounding as a big triple/triple.

I love the machine mine has really behaved three yrs ago I replace one rear shock and the torsionsprings the track on mine is studded 144picks and hooksup nicely your right about the sound I love it and you just cannot beat the performance something about it that many just don't understand I am sure to upgrade eventually to a four stroke almost pulled the trigger on a newer yamaha but I love my t-cat and keep telling myself one more year
