Thanks for posting these videos. I'm currently searching for the right power cat for me. I see you ultimately purchased the Eastward, also a boat I love. Can you advise why you chose the Eastward over the TwinVee?
.... Yes Sir, I can. The EASTWARD vs the TV 280 GFX was an easy decision when it came to price...ride was almost identical. The TV was $100,000 more at the time. The TV has more nice to have amenities.... More to maintain. I wanted a more commercial rig that I can pressure wash after a successful day offshore. The EASTWARD is built like a tank! The round tunnel does not sneeze as bad as the flat tunnel of the TV. 👍
How did the 28' Twin-Vee compare to the 2400 Seaward? I was going to purchase a 2400 seaward last year and decided to purchase another boat and now I have to get another boat.
The 28 TV is a beast, but so is the 2400 Eastward. There's a $100,000 price point difference between the two. The ride of the Eastward is simply amazing and you can tell it's better built.
Hey Jay, got a deposit down on the seaward 2400. Would like to pick your brain on anything you would change or add to the seaward you have. What would be the best way to contact you? Thanks
I’d feel better about the Twin Vee product if the owner Joe actually stood behind his boats. First hand experience as well as via half a dozen clients major structural issues and Joe voids their warranty claiming abuse. For that reason alone if you want to buy a budget cat you buy the eastward. Unfortunately your resale value won’t be much down the road because settling for an Eastward word is like settling for a Chevy Impala versus buying a Mercedes Benz.
Well I appreciate your comment and respect your opinion.. the Eastward catamaran is simply in a league of its own when it comes to having a boat that is simple, easy to maintain, and in all actuality will probably be worth what I paid for it in another couple years. Boat prices have only doubled since I placed my order on this boat/built it. This exact model would require an additional $80,000 over what I paid for it to have it built today. If I sell this boat I'd step into a 3000 horizon. I have run all of the top tier catamarans and they are not worth the money to me because I'm not a sandbar hopping fisherman. We fished the boat, spray foam it, pressure wash it and put it up until the next time.

Did you mean the 28
Ate the chop and compares to 28 worldcat?
Yes .... 28 GFX is a great riding hull. The 24 GFX is not. The EASTWARD 2400 is also a great riding hull and almost half the price of the TV and WC.

That's awesome 👍 ... Congratulations and hit me up through FB Messenger ... Jeremy Brown, Wendell North Carolina 👍
Hey Jay, any update on the boat you went with? I’m in the market for a cat 25”+ but just not sure what to go with.
I went with the EASTWARD 2400 ... 👍
@@WeekendHOOKER2012 I love love to see a video on it. I can only find info about the 30. Hopefully you can make one soon.
@@3o5richierich ... I will make a couple videos on the boat for sure 👍
How did that Eastward catamaran run for you compared to twin vee 28?
They are very close in ride...with the EASTWARD performing better overall.
