HI GUYS,

WENT ON A TEST DRIVE WITH COMMANDER CATAMARANS 6.2m CAT LAST MONDAY.

ALL WENT WELL , LOVED HOW THE BOAT HANDLES, WE PLAYED ARROUND THE PIN .
LITTLE BIT UNSURE ON HOW TWIN 90'S WOULD GO , BUT WE REACHED TOP SPEED OF 33knots . I WAS VERY HAPPY .

CAN'T SAY A BAD WORD ABOUT THE BOAT, SO I PUT A DEPOSIT ON ONE, SHOULD BE READY IN ABOUT 5 TO 6 WEEKS. ( CAN'T WAIT ).;D

GOING WITH TWIN 90hp OPTI'S.

THE GUYS FROM COMMANDER CATS WERE VERY HELPFULL, I'AM CHANGEING A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THE INTERIOR AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL DO THIS AT NO EXTRA COST. ( BETTER THAN SOME OTHER COMPANIES THAT I SAW )

NOW I JUST HAVE TO SELL MY 23 SHARK CAT.

GOING FOR A SMALLER BOAT SO THAT I CAN TOW AND TAKE TO NEW AREAS.
I'M A CAT FAN . MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE MY USER NAME ?

SEE YA

Thanks SHARK CAT

Quaker means That CAPITALS IS THE SAME AS SHOUTING ON A COMPUTER and lower case is talking without raising ones voice. But hey maybe the boat is just that good?

WHAT?....... ::)

it's called "netiqite", set of unwritten rules for communicating on the net, in emails, texting, basically anything form of electronic communication where you can't show or imply emotion with voice volume, pitch, gestures etc.

And yes typing in CAPITALS is the electronic equivalent of shouting at someone and generally considered rude, unless of course you want to shout at someone and go all out and abuse them.

That's only 5 weeks to get the trailer of your dreams and get all the quirky things on any older trailer that could have been done better. Longer central guide at the back .l ladder on winch post , walkway , tie down points , extended drawbar????

Be great to see some photos of teh new and old rigs

The next 5 weeks will feel like 6 months!!!

Good on you Shark Cat 1,

Should be a nice setup.

Changing down from the 23 sharkcat will be a bit of a culture shock, but as you say, now you can easily trailer where you want to go.

Cheers

Is that price without just for the boat/trailer/electrics etc? Even so, seems like a good price for a 6m boat.
