RE: Who knows anything about ProKat?
ProKat purchased the World Cat mold a few years back (After a World Cat upgrade). I've fished on several Cat boats and I like thema lot except inextremely rough seas. As with most, I prefer not to fish inrough seas but sometimes you can't help it (storms pop-up, a tournament, etc..). Cat boats are more hydro-dynamic and will slice thru a wave in a much cleaner fashion than a mono-hull. In smaller seas, this works-out great and results in a smooth ride. In larger seas, this clean slice leaves you hanging in mid-air; Then gravity takes over; The weight of the engines causes the stern to land-hard, resulting in a sore back! We broke the jack plates onone Cat and broke the downriggers on another occasion. Keep in mind, thiswas in 6-8 foot seas. If you can avoid the rough seas, you will have a terrific boat. Good luck on your purchase.
