Re: [PCW] Your home built Cat
Bob,
A few questions if do not mind. Do you have any
pictures of your Cat? How much did it cost to
fabricate? How long did it take? Which outboards
are you running? Would you buy the same outboards
if you were doing the project again?
Regards,
Jim

Hi all, My name is Bob Cushing, am from upstate
n.y and have been building wood/epoxy boats for
my own u..se for about 15 years. About 4 years
ago I built a 24ft powercat using a set of
Hankinsons hellcat powercat plans as a basic
starting point. I also looked at and measured
hull shapes and dimensions of many production
cats and arrived at what I wanted that way. It
has a planing hull with a notrhwest style full
cabin -looks a lot like the old c-dory tomcat 30.
We have been using it for 3-4years now and like
it very much. Powered by 2 four stroke outboards
approx 220hp total it runs about 38mph max
-cruises very quietly in the 20-30mph range.Ride
quality is excellent, fuel consumption around
2-4mpg,very easy to dock. We have traveled
extensively in this small cat -from upstate ny
down icw to jekyll island ga., trent severen
canal, rideau, and around lake ontario and
thousand islands area. trailering weight is
6500lbs with fuel and all.Cats are the way to go
in my opinion. Bo b.

My wife 2 kids & I live in Indianapolis, have
been boating on Lake Michigan
for many years in a 46' Sea Ray, and are looking
down the road to our next
boat (part time live aboard) and a powercat seems
to make the most sense,
also we just got back from an 8 day bareboat
charter in the Bahamas on a 37'
powercat which backed up our positive impression
of power cats in general.
We look forward to learning more from your
subscribers.
Glad to have you aboard, Mark!
Periodically please post an update as your search

Hi Mark
We have our wonderful 2003 live aboard
Endeavour 44 Trawler Cat
on the market right now unfortunately, and after
she sells we'd be
interested in an occasional charter. Did you
charter from the Moorings in
Marsh Harbor? How was the boat and the expense?
We've spent a good deal
of time in the Abacos aboard our own boat and
would like to go back but
it would have to be on a charter. We'd like to
hear about your
experience.
Best regards - Ron Zeppieri on OdySea
