Anyone know about the sea keeping ability of one of these cats ? Anyone ever been on one underway?
My wife and I recently took a ride on another type of powercat with outboards, and it had an uncomfortable ride heading directly into 2-3 foot seas out in the Gulf of Mexico. I would describe the motion like being on a hobby horse. The cat we were on was on was light (15000 lbs) with a cored hull, 45' long, and we were going slow, about 7-8 knots. We were not thinking this cat we were riding on was any kind of a blue water boat, but my wife and I were still surprised with the ride.
