Default RE: Boat Question

I can't comment to much on the prokat because I have never fished in one. But I have a lot of friends who areoffshore captain's out of venice. They all prefer Glacier Bay or Worldcat. I personally own a worldcat 33 tournament addition. and to answer your question of range. I have taken it to the lump on the west side of venice, and my boat is docked in perdido key.

I have a Pro-Sports Bluewater 3000 Monohull 31' Center Console with twin 225 Suzuki 4-strokes. I was questionable about the boat at first, but after going over it with the survey, I was convinced it is a well made boat. It didn't look like it was half-assed put together. All the wiring was tucked away. Gel-coat is nice, no spider cracks or stress marks. The only thing I don't like is the Raymarine electronics. I would gladly trade my entire raymarine system for the exact same Garmin setup. Other than that, it has an 11' beam, so it handles big seas easily, still runs 40 knots, and is a smooth comfortable ride with tons of seating. I have to say, I'm happy with it!

I've owned a Prokat 2360 since 2007, I fish the rigs, the Spur or further south at least three times a month. I love the hull it's a sweet, stable ride. It's dry and unlike some cats you don't get the "sneeze" spray that can come from between the hulls. As far as range I've fished three day trips and still come back with 1\4 left. At 25knots I get right at 2 mpg. I've got 175 Suzuki's which have given me ZERO trouble. There are a couple of things I don't like on mine, I redid the pumps on the aft fish boxes and the seat sits about 4 inches too low which makes it tough to see when seated. To be honest the fit and finish isn'tthe bestI've seen, but who care when it's covered in tuna blood!

like anything there are always things you like and dislike about a boat, if I had to do it over again I would buy another Prokat. If you have any other questions feel free to call 850-316-0191.

By the way if you have the option get the FULL dive latter, it makes loading so easy

Don't know much about Procat, but I do own a Twin Vee and love it. Twin Vee has gone out of business, but I think the hull has been purchased by Ameracat Inc. They look to have made a few changes to the hull, but the 26 ft starts at $50 k ,This is the economy model no frills added. Check out the web site Ameracat.com
