new sled time
 

the gravois has been a great hull but im looking into getting into a glass boat. im not getting rid of the gravois just want something with a little more room and comfort. ive decided i want a cat and have narrowed it down to the haynie 24 cat or an scb cat not sure which one yet. my question is ive seen a few scb's for sale on texas sites for good prices and im not against buy used to save a few bucks as i know they make good boats but i remember hearing about some of the older models having trouble with water coming in over the back and flooding. we all know ryans boat sunk so please dont start crap about that. im looking for information on which models had this problem and when the issue was fixed as i dont want to buy one and have to worry about it. thanks

Just curious... why a cat?

i always wanted a cat and you dont see many of them around. for what reason i dont know because imo they out perform a mono hull in just about everything. im leaning towards the scb because honestly i want to go fast but from what ive read the haynie has a better ride and is more of a fishing boat. more than likely ill go with the haynie but if i can find a really good price on a scb f-22 ill get it.

And a lot of those are ex tourney / guide boats ..... Ragged out

Dont forget the majek. Not too shabby from what I have seen personally.

I have rode in a scb....was not impressed with the ride in chop. Also the fit and finish was poor. Cheap latches,console is bolted down not glassed,very little storage.

But it would be nice to cruise at over 60 and run 85+, those boats are very fast.

Just buy a intercostal bullet

Yeah but they dont make a duck boat so Im sure you arent intrested lol;)

Bullet in vbay = back surgery

Good point, forget about it.

Those Haynie Cats are pretty sweet, I looked at a 24 in person they are huge!!
Never rode in one tho so I can't say anything performance wise

One of the rod and gun guys has one, I have not heard good things about it.

Well there's you answer lol

Haynie in Breton Sound = funeral.

Get a 22' Twin-Vee Bay Cat, you can't go 80 but you will be getting a nice boat. http://twinvee.com/Twin-Vee-Bay-Cats.htm

I looked at these and was considering one but I was not impressed with the finish or the fact that they were going out of business at the time. Did glacier bay buy twin vee??

If you wanna be different get you one of these http://www.panga.com/

IDK, I thought some investors came in and bailed them out. They are the #1 powered catamaran maker in the US.

A ton Of tarpon guides in boca grande have them boats
