What are some of the better small power cats?

[tuffr2]

I only need a boat to get me from the east coast of Florida to the southern Bahamas in the winter months. I have looked at a few of the smaller trawlers but have not looked at smaller power cats yet...

Thanks for any input.

If you could find one with the Cummins diesels, grab it. Don't get one with the Volvo outdrives.

At 22 kt I use 19 gallons an hour. 9 kts, 3 gallons per hour.

You might check out Endenvour Cats made locally in Florida.Have nice Cats and a solid reputation.

Those Endeavor cars are very nice. I am now in Crystal River Florida. I might drive down to see them.

But I waffle between a trawler type boat and a cat. Then I waffle between a trailer boat and a non-trailer boat.

I will have a tendency not to use the boat for maybe 2 or 3 winter months. I really do not want to let a boat sit in the water for that long.

Glacier Bay is a brand I've read about... bound to be others...

Don't toss out the sailing cats. With twin motors, they can make excellent trawlers with a really tall radio antenna. No one said you have to sail.

Love the endeavor cats. They look ugly as all get out but the living space is incredible. Kind of like no one would say a Jeep is a streamlined and beautiful vehicle but when you head off road, it's a thing of beauty.

PDQ put out a nice power cat for a few years.
