Reply With QuoteHow does the 22 handle Havasu chop? Thanks!
The 22' is kinda small IMO for Havasu.The boat is like a bobber. We called them refrigerators when the 1st came out. :idea:

Personally, I think the 6' brass flag pole is an exceptional option that I've only seen factory on an Advantage Party Cat.

How does the 22 handle Havasu chop? How fast is it with a 6.2 or 496 mag? Does it feel larger than a 22?
How fast is the 26 with a 496 HO?
Can the 28 be had without those back to back seats behind the driver? I prefer the rear seats in the 26. How fast is the 28 with the 496 HO?
Thanks!
We had the 26 with a hp500 and a bravo I. It was basically a pig in the water. But we didn't buy it with illusions that we were pushing any envelopes of perfomance. Great boat to have if you're hauling around a bunch of drunks. A must for either the 26 or the 28 would be a Bravo III. Just try to get good hole shot and not have big ideas about top end. The Conquest or Magic would be my choice if I had to do it again.

RD SUX. I know that. I was countering the negatives that were being said about the Party Cats. I see you're on top of your game today RD.
A wench system huh? I'd like to see that. What does a wench system consist of? A couple of wenches? Are they hot?
Hey Keith, I like the sprinkler. That would be killer on hot days, cool it off a little.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, RD SUX.

More boats need to come witha wench option.... in my case, more people to row...
...arggg me harteys... I like me wenches perfumed and pretty...
The person you want to ask is Shaken Not Stirred who is a great guy and knows a lot

If ya have a Bravo III with 28's on it...I'm gonna say around 50-55 mph with 2 bimini's up, 70-80 gals of fuel and a the boat loaded for the day....
I've got a 26 with a 600hp 509 and I gps'd around 55 or so last summer at Shasta turning about 4900-5000 rpms....
In '03 I had a stock 454 330hp carbed Mercruiser with the Bravo III and dropped the 600+ hp 509 in for '04 I probably put about 100 or so hours on it with no problems at all....even with a full load on board...it rolls over very easily...
LaveyBob made that pole for Partycat, and they installed it.
You know, it was really nice of Bob to machine a deal for PC's backyard in Havasu that will accept the flag pole as well.
As far as the boat being a brick.... Doesnt it have a double step cat hull? and weighs in at around 4K? I think thats pretty respectable too.. I guess I just like my boat.
Then why are you sellin' yer boat?
I just ordered my 28 yesterday. Should be ready in April. Got the 496 HO in it. I figured once the warranty is out, I'd add some pressure to the intake (supercharger)

Skygod.....here's some answers for you......
22' w/6.2 (B3) = 50-55 MPH
26' 4/496 MAG HO (B3) = 63-65 MPH
28' w/496 MAG HO (B3) = 63-65 MPH
28' w/525 (B1) = 70-73 MPH
**NEW** 27' PartyCat Available at LA Boat Show **
Same as the 26' & 28' as far as speed.
Can't get the 28' with "L" seats....Only Back-to-Back....
The new 27' will have "L" seating.....
The 26 & 28 are the better sellers and would perform better at Havasu.
I'll be working the Advantage booth at the LA Show, so stop by and say HI....
Later,
CJG
