Florida Sportsman Best Boat - Cats of All Types

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!

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.

Thank you for making this video. I am tired of getting pounded on my boat. Visiting dealer Wednesday

Hard to imagine a "best boats" catamaran edition without a Freeman.

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.

Let's call it what it is. It's a worldcat infomercial. No Freeman, No Invincible, no true comparison. INFOMERCIAL!!!!

I had a Yamaha 220 on my Grady White for 6 years, the only maintenance being to put gas in

[whome]

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.

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 think these are more paid advertisements as opposed to reviews. As stated by others you should have Freeman and Invincible in here if you’re actually going to do catamarans

[carlosllama]

Guys I love you show but was missing is you half to tell the people the price of these boats thank you keep the videos coming

[vincentbudna]

Freeman cats anyday, they are the best!!

[chandlerkrogh]

Cannot believe that a freeman is not in this category....

[andrewtaylor]

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,

[marzipan]

Yeah this is not a comparison, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME BRAND!

[markrusser]

perhaps I am missing something here, but the absence of joystick control seems odd? I would think such an awesome seeming group of boats would have this feature. or maybe it is there but they didn't think it worth highlighting?

[kaptainhook]

This isn't cats of all types its cats offered by world What about Calcutta, Freeman, Americats... Those are fishing cats not a bs cat from World Cat.

Look at Jaguar Marine, BEST cats many people don't know about!
