I agree john looks like a wild boat . But i do have a problem with this layout just like the hydrasport and any of these boats that have out boards and no walk around ability.
Once you have a fish on your trapped. You have 6 foot on each side of the boat to fight a fish.
You could walk out on the transome but that aint no fun .
Hydra sports and fountain built the same type of boat . Outboards and a cabin and no walk around.
john, trust me, i def see your point. When fishing with you, just being able to walk around the boat is great. But, once you have done it a few times with the cabin model you get used to it. The only time you run into some trouble is when you anchor up chunking. I have a WA cabin on my boat and the placement that worldcat did with the handrails is perfect. you can do it with a rod in hand and still feel secure. That boat is an express cabin so you might have a little more trouble. The next step i would think about is a break away anchor system with the ball. A little more trouble but then you have the freedom to fight the fish.
as with any boat, there are always drawbacks. There is no perfect boat. . .only the perfect one for you.
Never experienced a Cat (yet) but from what I have seen, the Worldcat seems to be one of the or THE best one. I have seen many that don't appear to handle worth a shit and look even worse, but these look sweet.
The baby-blue has GOT TO GO THO! All set with that color scheme.
I can't imagine having outboards without walk-around capability either. Mine having an I/O and NO walkaround capability, I at least can walk fish around the stern (Sharks included) with little to no difficulty, because the drive is tucked in so close to the transom. Just have to climb over the engine box LOL
You guys are right, there's no perfect boat. My next boat will likely be a straight inboard express. Diesel preferably but not ruling out gas.
Sweet looking boat but I have to agree with John. The first problem I see with this boat is the two black things hanging off the back. If your bitchin about your gas bill now imagine what it would be with this toy. The walk around thing is huge if you are chunking.
