update on my cat

[cajunhntr03]

got her fully broke in

at 3900 rpm she runs 40 cruises great at 3500 rpm top speed so far is 54 but only turning 5200 rpm running a 22pitch 4 blade prop I dont need the speed so I concerned about running fast

Took her across the marsh in about 8 inches of water and was able to stop , raise the jackplate all the way up and get up in about 10-11"

I'm sure the cat aint for everyone and there are some drawbacks (as with every boat) but so far I am enjoying it

The back end does walk a lil and dont turn as sharp as a v hull but it does have incredible deck space 8' 10" beam 7 1/2' front deck Gots plenty of fishing room

I keep it at Spicers feel free to take a look just be nice to it

The 3.0 Mercs are happy running closer to 6,000, so maybe try a 21 Rev 4. Great prop and should work well on the cat. Good luck.

I checked it out this mornin lookin all sexy in that hanger. How did it do offshore. I noticed that the sides were pretty low I was assuming it was mainly a flat boat or for marsh fishing? But very nice rig indeed.
