im not a cat lover but could be with a rig like that.

[Spaniard_King]

Yep that would do me :)

[PinHead]

I always thought that cats were built for a reason..for people that cannot handle driving a mono hull..like training wheels on a bike.

(I'll just sit back and have a drink and wait for the bites)

[OPTI]

i wonder if they roll over as good as the old 7m;D

[deckie]

Would look even better with a more sympathetic/better looking hardtop. That one looks like an afterthought tacked on at the last minute.
Nice rig.

[Jarrah Jack]

That passenger seat would make a good massage table.....

don't look like any nibbles yet PH

I would be happy to put up traning wheel flags on her to make you happy....... what ya recon shes worth rigged to go 175K ?

[John Buoy]

6 replies and not 1 from a catman ;D;D;D

[ShaneC]

Id like to know the weight in comparison to a 2700 NC. That smick ally trailer would look good under mine and might do away with the need for a tri axle.....

175k..bloody hell..no thanks at that price.

I often wonder..trailer boats are getting longer but the beam stays under the legal limit..something has to give sooner or later...the longer the boat gets the beam should increase also in accordance with the length. Being of limited intellectual ability in boat design it just does not seem relevant to me to keep getting 'em longer but maintaining the beam in the trailerable limits. Surely length + beam is a factor in maintaining stability both under way and at rest..unless you are desiging an offshore racing hull.

I should add..this would apply to both monos and cat hulls.

[Stuart]

Pinhead,

It all comes down to prefrence, some like a wide one and others a long one. I wondewr if he will call it Cat Gutz. My mate use to say "if you have a cat you have one boat to many".

Stu

[live_baiter]

excuse my ignorance but how does one of those compare with a glacier bay?

[No Fear]

Hi Deckie,
Im with you, that hardtop looks ordinary and practically has no function. It doesnt provide much shade and wont stop the greenies coming through.....In saying that, I wouldnt say no if someone offered me one!!!
Be keen to know what they ride like....

[Back In Black]

Surprised to see it with only a dual axle? A 8100, assuming that means 8.1m in fibreglass would be seriously heavy. mines on a triaxle, is 8.4, but is alloy, so a bit less weight. I agree about the hardtop. That would be a waste of time in a heavy sea.

[Reefmaster]

Very nice bit of gear. They have certainly stepped up the anti

175k is way off the mark lads reckon you can deal one up with electonics for under 140k no probs
with a set of 140 Hondas

hmmm i wounder if i could sell of the horse paddock. might get the shed to go with it too.;D::).

[ShaneC]

I think by the time you were finished it would wind up more than that. I have no doubt that 140's would be a sufficient powerplant but electronics and stuff costs lots if you want them to be decent. I would be interested to see what you got for sub 140k to get an idea.. A very nice boat but surely they would have a hard top option

[zorro1]

ah yes - definetly a lot of non cat owners here in reply - i bought the 2010 markham and its one fantastic rig for practibility and performance.
costing in total $120,000 fitted out with gps, sounder, alloy trailer radios, registered.
nothing but a great boat - huge deck space , plenty of shade under the canopy - top boat and great value 72671

Think you would have to add more to the 140k as I could not see 140's pushing that thing!!!140's are just enough for my KC2400 and that looks a lot more boat!!

Nathan

[Corry]

Ahhh, $140k, $175k, don't matter, might just get two out of next pay... lol, I wish.

Corry

[John Buoy]

Regarding price and HP firstly price as mentioned is very close to the mark with standard electronics.
You can (enclosed cab) get a patrol cab currently for 149K and re Hp that should read 150 Hondas and plenty of em
have this power plant and more than enuff!! The asymetric hulls are very quick on the plane !!

Regards frank

[SgBFish]

Probably a nice rig.
If I had $140K I thing this girl is better buying.
This is my current favourite.

I like the hardtop.. Im wondering what the fitted cost might be of a similar structure to my 1851wa Striper????? Obviously a set of clears around the hardtop would enclose it ...The way my boat is set up at the moment id have to get a stand alone structure for a set of rocket launches further clutering a fairly small rear deck ..maybee not the cost efective way to go ..buut i like the idea of just attaching the holders to the hardtop.

sorry to hijack the thread for a second..Bogger..fitting stand alone rocket launcher to your boat does not clutter anything

Nathan,

I have fished on KC boats for over 20 years and I can assure you they do need Hp to push them along. You simply cant say because your cat needs X amount of hp that the dominator will need more because its a bit longer. Take the Coastal cats for example, a good freind of mine had a 7 meter model then extended that by 1 meter and only needed 140s. Before the extension he had 115s and it went great. All cats are not made equal mate.

[Bogger]

Iff i say a stand alone rock launcher structure will clutter my boat..it will clutter my boat:P

[PinHead]

fair enough if that is what you reckon..I would dispute that all day long. never even noticed the rocket launcher overhead.

[Bogger]

The bimini cover i have is bolted to the cabin wall so i figure bolting more structure onto it will just look a bit crappy ..maybee you are right as far as it dosnt take to much space to have a upright bolted onto a boat ..but in this case there is already a upright where 1 would logicaly put such a structure.Therfore my way of thinking involves instead of having 2 uprights ...i could have just 1 ...the hardtop .

[Bogger]

looks good.:)..Your boat ?

[PinHead]

it was......

[dnej]

some like a wide one and others a long one

As a red head once said" please explain"

[CHOPPER 2]

Here is one for $115k. I have been aboard this boat and know the owner and it is maintained to the highest standard.

No I cant explain that on this site mate, but let your mind run wild.

[jason p]

these boats are price very well, even the 2nd hand 7m at 85k wow. whats wrong with them lol.

[Mister]

Now lets see, tandem axle trailer, 2.5 METRE beam, powered by a pair of what? and they call it an 8100 (suppose that's meant to "imply" 8.1 METRES)? Something just not right here :)
