World Cat 235 TE Boat Review - The Fisherman Magazine

Join The Fisherman Magazine's Captain John Raguso for a first look a the all-new World Cat 235TE. This 23-footer center console was designed for fishing, but has storage everywhere, creative fold down seating, massive deck space for it's size and a fast, smooth ride that take you further with it's twin 60 gal fuel tanks.
We genuinely liked this boat and think Fisherman readers will as well.

Hate batteries in the bilge. Would also reconfigure dash to allow for 2 Garmins. Other than that very nice. Love the flip out seating in the front. Best of both worlds

Nice. I have the 230 version and would like that additional rear fishing space and the front gunnel height. Not sure if that battery is on a platform. My batteries are on a platform under jump seats and have been fine. This one also might be harder to install a I-pilot. Problem is these boats are too expensive now.

I agree on the batteries in the bilge...not good. I bet this is a sweet riding 23 footer!

A couple nice features but those batteries need moved. Also with that front in deck storage going so far forward, those hatches should be bigger. Pretty tough to squeeze things through those current size hatches.

Like to see the batteries moved into the console.

Tournament addition, without rod holders along the sides?

[jb]

Not enough rod holders on top of gunnels for a TE version. Are those just cup holders in the back beside bait wells, or are they combo cup/rod holders? And where does one install the cutting board for a TE?

[worldcatlemon]

Definitely NOT a tournament boat unless you are fishing for speckled trout on the Inland Coastal waterway. Not an ocean boat.
Keep trying Andrew, you'll get it right eventually. Keep me posted 😮

Tiny tanks - my 23 cats both have twin 66 gallon tanks - with 150 Suzuki’s - right at 300 nm range…
