My buddies Cat..(The IKAT)...Ive fished off alot of platforms in my life....Jupiters, Bertrams, Blackfins, Parkers, Hollowell Custom Carolinas etc etc etc    But his Cat is by far one of the best fishing platform ive ever been on........cuts thru snotty water like glass, absolutely made to fish...we go about 70 miles offshore to the canyons and she works flawlessly....every time....  Good luck with yours,
He runs twin Evinrude 300s

I can say 100% that you will love the ride that WorldCat gives you   :aok

Before the detailing he had done



After....that is all airbrushed...not a decal

That is sweet.

Mike wants a blue hull, not sure why but he is fixated on it.  I think that will be the first thing we'll have done if we don't buy one with it already blue.  I've seen a few online and they do look cool.

I spoke to the mooring maintenance company yesterday, they are going out to inspect it and do any necessary maintenance.  Turns out the mooring is an insurable one which means it will be fully covered if a hurricane hits and we can't get it out of the water (if we are both away or something).  He asked what kind of boat and when I told him he was full of praise for them. 

Morfiend, not to worry.  We will be maxing out the budget.  In fact the budget doubled from day 1 to what it is now because we both liked the 32' boat.  My wife looks good in a bikini and so does Mike's actually.  We both have daughters, but they too young.  That will likely be the extent of bikini clad women on board most of the time.  :)

Rich..."And you know what? I dont regret one thing about it. I'd do it again in a heart beat. Life is short and a nice boat and time on the water with friends and family are one of the pay offs."  ZING!!!!  That is exactly it!!

Not sure if you are serious about coming here for the 2014 tournament, but if you are at all you'll have a place to crash and I am sure I could get you on one of the boats of you don't already have a spot. :aok

Looks like a good day sailor for any fisherman, but I'd never recommend that type of boat for a family with youngish kids wanting to get out of the sun and wind.

Just saying.
Easy in-game again.
