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.
