Anybody ever seen these Cats?

These things look real nice! I've never heard of 'em. I think you can get them in the U.S. though. Cool designs, both for the hulls and the decks.

Theres a whole breed of boats like that over there and in South Africa where they originated... Most are actually pretty plain jane built on a 70's style concept that the more weight and glass the better. I actually oned one from ace cat the South African version and it served the purpose I had it for but comes way short of even basic American creature comforts. Built in fuel seems to be foreign concept to these comapnies. Possibly rightfully so because frequently there are no marinas near the camp resorts... They launch, moor, and tote gas back and forth... Other things like cable steeringe etc.. No finis leaves them a little.... well.... rough...

LesiureCat is an Austalian company, maybe they're related some how...

Just so happens, you can get these Cats the USA.

Got a guy in Florida that brings them in.

Or you can get one factory direct. Great Offshore boat with heaps of fishing room and great stability.
Takes on a 6-10ft mess like it was born in it.

Pulled some great fish from the middle East to Fiji in these particular boats.
If you need help, let me know.
