Thread: If you could build a 28' cat from scratch...

    I would tell you exactly what I want. Which is unlike anything out there now. But then the builder won't build it and let me have the first one for a nice discount!

    This is your chance to be heard.

    I guess if I were them, I'd take the RC bottom, make it a walk through (big guys don't want to crawl under) so you could use the luxury cat windshields (they look cool). I think the open bow would sell more, plus they already have the RC for the closed deck people. Build in an overhang type swim step, not bolt on.
    I like the hidden bimini and ice chest ideas, maybe a storage compartment with hose by the bow to wash feet off. Bench back seat and 2 buckets, plus front lounges. That's about all you could want
    (oh, and more freeboard than the RC)
    {they could name it their fever model...lol}

    Matt, you know my boat. I would have never thought I would have an open bow cat. BUT, now I am really happy I do. There is always someone up front and room for more is nice. I dont like crawling under the dash to get there, but I would never have a walk through for looks and stability.
    As you know twins are great. I am going to upgrade the motors to 540's and do some drive height experimenting. Good stereo, built in ice chests, all I need..... almost.

    I personally don't like built in ice chests, I hate transfering everything in and out of the boat. What I think works better is dedicated spots for soft sided coolers.
    I also like trash containers on a boat, I hate trash bags out on an expensive boat. Looks ghetto

    Cat or deck boat? A Cat as a open bow......... is just the number one way to ruin a good boat. If I was building one it would be sleek, fast, great layup for ocean or lake, capped, with great finishing touchs, it would be a 1/4 canopy, with 700 hp a side it would run 130 mph........ hmmmm come to thinking of it I just designed a 30' Skater.......... never mind. But if it had to be single engine then it would be a cross between a F-29 and the new Top Cat closed deck. Would work well with a #6 or arneson and work very well with all the above mentioned stuff. F' storage, I don't need to live the mother f'er I just want to run it.
