Hello George and all. Like you, We set out to sea trial every available powercat in the charter service beginning in 2002. We eventually commissioned a CharterCats 42 Prowler and took delivery in early 2004. Despite the company's demise, I still find my vessel to be comparable to those costing twice as much. The original Prowler, a Schionning design, is now being built by CruiserCats of SA as the Tortuga 42. They also build a Havana 38 with a more "cruiser" appearance which has excellent range , speed, and generous engine room access. We use our cat frequently between FL east coast and the Bahamas and find the handling and ride of this size cat very comfortable and reassuring. Capt. T Hanna "InnerDog"
