  • Catamarans continue to grow in popularity due to their stable, easy-to-plane hull configuration. The hull is known for its rough water capabilities, but if you’re looking for a fishing boat that easily doubles as a family boat, you’ll want to check these cats out. In this episode we feature three types of cats: World Cat 320CC Center Console, World Cat 230 DC Dual Console, Glacier Bay Edition 2740.

    While I really do enjoy all these videos, I don’t think these guys have ever said a negative thing about ANY of the boats. Not sure how good these really are for the consumer. This is the third one of these I’ve watched. All boats can’t be so perfect!

      potatomonster7 we generally try and cover the key features you should be looking for a boat in a particular class. All boats have compromises, there really isn’t a perfect boat for all situations. So we choose not to focus on the shortcomings.

      It's a sponsored video. They were paid to try and help sell these boats. Would you pay someone to talk negatively about your product? Probably not.

    I live in Brisbane Australia...and worked for 5 years on Moreton Bay and surrounding open ocean.
    I drove several boats (mono 65foot, twin hull 30ft, tri-hull 22 foot) on these waters.
    The twin hull (Noosa Cat) totally dominated all sea conditions, and smashed the dangerous bars.
    Honestly, a well balanced twin hull cannot be beaten for stability on chop and dangerous bars.

      fine. you get on the back of a bigger wave and stay on it through the bar.....same as a monohull.

    we went fishing on a 26 ft Glacier Bay in choppy waters off South Miami and it was quite comfortable. Caught a few Remora and a puffer but had a lot of fun. Boat is huge and much more comfy than a monohaul same or bigger size.

    As a Glacier Bay 2680 owner, I will tell you the half windshield will be a wet ride in rough water. When it sneezes you will be getting wet. In the rough water outside the Golden Gate,2-4 foot waves and 6-10 foot swells, I know my Skipjack 25 gives you a better ride, especially when loaded heavy.

    I would put in a removable door that slots into place between the bowrider and the rest of the boat, so if you stuff the nose you don't swamp the whole boat.

    If only the size and the money. A tow-able cat will cost so much less than a moored mono that cat do he same. Now diesel shaft twin cat bang for your buck. I have had the pleasure of twin two stroke cat performance but the price point is not the same. A 17.5 ft cat with twin 85 Yamaha non counter rotating props landed regularly on its gunnel in heavy sea. Fun but brutal on the body. Twin props and a well thought out sea keeping ability is what you need. good luck,

    you're not going to get a negative review from either current sponsors or potential future sponsors, they pay the bills and salaries,....but, they were pretty honest in this show. Cats really are awesome machines and their advantages are pretty much as they described. I lived in Fl. for a long time and have been on lots of v-hulls and a few cats and I liked the cats better. I noticed the guys with the deep-v's that I went out with seemed to like to remind you of how fast their boats were and how "serious" their boats were. Seemed more the type that liked to let everyone know they were manly type men whereas the cat-owners I went fishing with were more just regular guys. Kind of like the men in Georgia where I live now, the macho assholes seem drawn towards the big loud, lifted trucks, that are seemingly never actually in mud or dirt, always shiny for some reason?

    I like the idea of a head on it

    • @solarfry
      @solarfry 6 лет назад +2

      pontoons are aluminum. No gelcoat to crack or spyder. Great for running up on beach. worldcat is gelcoat. gelcoat does not like sand, pebbles or rocks, items found on beach. Gelcoat is extremely expensive to repair correctly.

    • @marzipan4993
      @marzipan4993 3 года назад +1

      Yes world cats do that. The only time i’ve ever gone overboard was on a world cat, and we caught a wave and it rolled hard and 3 people in the back of the boat fell out. They are also very slow. A freeman, sea hunter, invincible, on the other hand rides amazing and do not roll.

    • @helicart
      @helicart 2 года назад

      Most cats are wider than an equal length mono.
      Both roll uncomfortably. It depends on the wave length which rolls more.
