FastCat Boats?

I'm selling my beloved Cobra this year and I've had some contact with
FastCat Marine. Has anyone heard anything about these boats, good or bad?

Oh no, the boat is sold, just waiting for delivery. It's certainly a
different looking boat, a pickle-fork, tunnel hull offshore racing hull with
fishing platforms and livewells! I haven't seen one in person, but I've
heard the construction is second to none and they're extremely stable in
rough water and high speeds. But that's all I've heard.

The fastcat doesn't look like a really aggressive pickle fork. I rode in
one one time that was laid out as a bass boat, and there was 30 inches
or more of sponson sticking out in front of the trolling motor on each
side. That boat made me wonder how tunnels got such a good rep for rough
water ride. It was both rough AND wet. But it sure did fly! I've since
ridden in a few that were much better rides, but they didn't have that
exaggerated fork look.

Yeah, it's not an aggressive forked front end, but a hull design that
originated in racing and has been modified for fishing. I'm still waiting
for the CD that Jerry has sent me. It's supposed to have much more data on
the boat than is listed in the website. I'm not sure that it's the boat for
me, but I'll keep an open mind and weigh all the factors of the boat. It is
interesting, I've always been interested in performance boats, and from all
reports, this IS a high performance boat. But, I'm not going to sacrifice
fishability just to go fast. Fishing is still the reason for having the
boat, but I believe that getting there should be part of the fun too!

Well, I don't know about fishability, but if getting there is part of
the fun, how about doing away with the tow vehicle? 502 HP!

I heard they were a very very good rough water boat. I tried to contact
them a couple years ago about a demo ride, but could never get anywhere with
that. (Basically never heard back from them)

Bob, that's what I heard too. I think you'd have to go to Miami to get a
demo ride, unless there's a dealer out there.

Make sure you can get good dealer support. If that's a question, then
you better go with a brand that you can.
