  • Join us on a special assignment in Singer Island, Florida as we explore the ultimate aluminum catamaran from ACI Boats. The "Catatude" is the newly released 34' Warm Weather Lumacat from ACI Boats in Port Townsend, Washington. This all welded aluminum catamaran is powered with twin 300 horsepower Mercury outboards that provide an economical cruise speed and impressive torque to get this boat on step quickly. The Catatude's large fishing deck is complemented with a spacious cabin complete with a wrap-around settee, an expansive countertop with cabinet storage underneath, bolster style seating for passengers and the captain, and a forward berth with hanging closet and step-down head and sink.The interior is finished with Awl-Grip to give this boat a yacht-like interior finish and all the decking is covered with Raptor decking. This one-of-a-kind boat is such a complete package it will likely turn into more-of-it's-kind in the warmer climates of the US!

    Dude is gonna crush it with that boat in Florida. Solid design, looks comfy, gets everything you need.

    • @live2boat
      @live2boat  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      We think so also. The layout kind of offers everything. You could even enclose the cabin and add A/C, or heat for northern climates, if you wanted. All around great design.

      It's weird to me more florida boaters don't have aluminum boats...especially seeing how much they run aground, lol.

      @@shaynelhta Haaaa…lol! A lot of the law enforcement boats are Safe Boats and Lifeproof boats and they are all aluminum. They seem to do fine in warm water environments.

    growing up fishing in Alaska, ive been on many Armstrong Catamarans, they definietly have the CAT figured out!. if i had a half a million lying around, i would buy a 34x12

    • @live2boat

      Right on Joseph! It’s the daily beatings running through chop that gets me in Alaska. These cats just sail right over it for a super smooth ride.

  • @duncanjames914
    @duncanjames914 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Man, that is one sweet ride! I've been thinking about this boat ever since you did a video of it at ACI. This would be perfect in Eastern Canada or the Great Lakes in a "Cold Weather" version. Thanks Rob!

    • @live2boat
      @live2boat  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hey thanks Duncan! It’d be so easy to enclose the back bulkhead on this boat and heat the cabin. I really like this new layout and these cats blow through chop and are so stable. Really nice ride!

    • @duncanjames914

      I agree Rob. Plus, your review was spot-on. Perfect video timing, speed and coverage. Thanks again.@@live2boat

      @live2boat  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      One of these would kick ass over there! When we were in Maui last year an older Armstrong pulled in one day that has been a dive charter for years there. Still in great shape and working as it was intended.

    This is close to what I spoke about in my comment to you a few months ago. I know you referred me to ACI about this, but if they could sexy up the profile and block bow it would be a sure winner. The aluminum's custom feature is awesome; it looks like this guy got what he wanted. I am in FL, so a warm weather version is what I need too. Do you know the weight of this one?

  • @shaynelhta
    @shaynelhta 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very, very nice. What's the weight difference compared to the same thing but in glass?
    One detail I'm surprised they didn't do is the frame less windows. Would've added that extra bit of luxury.

    • @live2boat
      @live2boat  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s a good question. Not sure why the owner didn’t go that route. ACI is installing frameless glazed windows on most of their boats now. They look so sharp!!!

    • @live2boat
      @live2boat  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think a little bit lighter than glass

    Love the boat for SoCal, what is the price range for something like this ? 300K, 400K, 500K ?

    • @live2boat
      @live2boat  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I think the higher end of that price range. They are building a SICK 42 footer for San Diego right now. Give them a holler at 360-385-1203 if you can.

    How is it going to be with all the lightning strikes down there? Any different than a fiberglass boat?

    • @live2boat
      @live2boat  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s a good question. I haven’t heard anything that would indicate that they get struck more than fiberglass boats. I’ll run this by some of the aluminum boat builders we work with and see if I can come up with an answer.

    are you saying that the mid deck between the engines, is first on their boat? Nope, about 4 years late. But maybe first on an aluminum cat.

      I’m a tall drink of water at 6’6”. The owner had the height of the cabin cut down a bit, I kinda like it..makes the boat look more sleek and
