    I didn’t realize there were that many millionaires out there, I guess I missed the BOAT ! Great video. Thanks.

    Good job with showing the numbers. He seems to be a nice guy putting out a good product. The boat has a very good layout that will accommodate both sides of the fence.

    As a Cat owner myself, that looks like a really nice rig & those gas burn numbers are hard to believe for a boat that size! Thanks for the video John! 👍👍 We won't talk about price however.....

    • @IamWeeklyBills
      @IamWeeklyBills ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They have around 300k just into materials is my guess into that boat and that's not even labor included.

    I know the GoPro has it's limits but being a active boater I can see clearly the washing machine water which is what I see coming out of the CT River into LI Sound and it can be rough, but this boat, Holy Crap, it was walking thru that slop like nothing. Super, super impressive.

    Interesting combination of cat hull, with steps, and this foil technology, which appears to deliver great results.

    Wow cool boat. I own 2 boats a 29’ and 16’ and I could never afford to buy them now. If I could afford an offshore boat for serious bottom fishing I’d buy this Cat

  • @NYGOLD
    @NYGOLD ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I would love to see how that boat would perform in heavy chop and a choppy following sea. Also what happens if you hit something with that foil, like a log or something? Will you break the foil off? If so do you sink or just replace the foil? How many plastic bags get stuck on the foil and does it screw things up?

    • @fearhand12
      @fearhand12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know Aquila's foil on their 36 is designed to break away cleanly without damaging the hull. Honestly though I think you're just better off getting a smaller catamaran if you're really after fuel economy. A 26 worldcat CC will get 3 mpg with no foil and can handle anything waves you'd really want to be out on the water in.

  • @danielkoch9596
    @danielkoch9596 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’m local to where the boat is manufactured. Incredible boat. Go to the factory and see the quality of the build.. if I could swing it I would 100% own this boat over the one of the other manufacturers by far…

    I own a cat too. The foil is the future. Super boat. I hope he will make a dual console for the "family first" boater. Aquila has a foil assist, but it is made in China.

    I love the boat. I wish it was at a better price point. I heard what you said about the monohul boats. You are spot on but take Aquila 38 sport it's the same thing but with two cabins and two bathrooms for maybe 100k more...idk but I do like that nice cross between a center console and cat. Nice work on the boat itself.

  • @caseykessler6600
    @caseykessler6600 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Kinda missed the mark on looks and a 12ft beam is gonna make a no go on towing it. Bottom of the hatches weren’t even finished gel coat. Exposed wiring in the console. Needs a lot of refinement before it’s a half million dollar boat. I feel like builders price it there so people don’t think it’s cheaply built because that’s what other similarly sized cats are but when you haven’t even built more than one boat you need to get the boat out there and that’s by giving a good deal on a boat until you have the reputation to back it. I’m close to cocoa and would of loved to take a look at the boat as a possibility even though the looks weren’t all there for me but with that price I’m out. I’d rather stick to upgrading my seavee to a bigger seavee for less.

    Those of you guys interested in cats should check out scaredy cat boatworks they have a 23 thats gonna be at fibs in 7 weeks and a 36 thats gonna be ready shortly after that is capable of doing triple digits if wanted with triple 300s. which is insane the 23 bay boat can run triple digits with a single 350

My Merc gauges at 1.5 GPH I would be at 1450 rpm and again what the secret with this rig. the math no add up guys.
