whens Americat going to build a 20-23 cat..
Don't know what Ameracat's plans are on that, you'll have to check with them. I do know they have a 20 now, but its not considered an offshore boat.
-
Once the plug is done, they'll build the mold. I think they have 2 or 3 cc's in line at the moment.

Did you get a chance to go out on the 31?
-
Anticipation. Had to check it out. Now they'll pull the plug back off and finish it then make the mold from it.

Excellent quality marine beanbags and great customer service!
I'll 2nd that.

Some pics of the plug construction for the XP.

very nice!
can you explain why manufacturers or buyers would want a canvas top vs. a hardtop?
IMO, the hardtops look much nicer, a more polished finish look, quieter for crew when raining, and should last longer too.
Its just another choice. Canvas is less expensive, lighter and has more color options.

My boat is out of the mold and has the interior gelcoat done and ready for the cabin.

I'm getting an Xpress Pilothouse. And I think they will be doing a walkaround type pilothouse also.

We have an EPIRB with gps. Its something that you really hate spending money on because its not something you use often and hope you never do. But when the day comes that its needed you will feel like a fool if you don't have it.

They pulled the first hull from the mold today.

Now that WC owns GB.. what is the difference in quality.. Did anything change in some of the tooling on the GB..meaning have the boats gone over a big redesign..small bottom changes or blueprinting..stuff like that or are they the same with WC behind them.. I understand that one is a semi and the other a displacement.. but what gives.. Thanks Guys.. Jeff
From the newsletter I got, its my understanding nothing has really changed. The GB is more for cruising, and the WC is more for fishing, but each will do both.

Waiting for an Express Version of your 31.
Its not far away they have started production now.
-
Went down yesterday to watch them pull the mold off the plug or actually pulled the plug from the mold.
You can see a short video of it on the website.
It won't be long now.

Jassman,
It looks like it should fit fine. You may already have it figured out, but the easiest thing to do is loosen the bunks slide them in so they will fit inside the tunnel, put a 2x6 or 8 down on the I-beam and one vertically on the face of the bracket that supports the bunk and carpet them. Probably won't require two full 8' 2x's.

I've had a Glacier Bay and I'll stay with my Sea Vee. I could not get use to the snap of the roll on a cat boat.
As far as contender, I would get a 3 year old Sea Vee before I would get a new contender.
Just my opinion.
Just because you've ridden on one cat don't mean they are all the same. No more than v-hulls are all the same.
There are some cats that don't have the udesirable handling as seen in others.

They are steady building the CC's
Still waiting on completion of the cabin mold though to finish mine.
You gotta go for a ride on one.
