Default Power catamaran boat question:

Didnt know where else to post this question.....but here goes.

I'm looking at a 22ft Pro Sport Pro Kat Walkaround with twin 115hp Yamaha outboards. I've watched some videos showing the boat in ocean conditions and I've done some research on the hull design....I'm impressed with what I have seen. I have only seen a handful of this type of boat in Oregon and the only power cat dealership in the Portland area is Aman Marine and they sell Glacier Bay power cats.....very expensive. I doubt that I could get a ride in one. So basically I'm looking for someone who has an educated opinion on this type of hull. ANY info at all would be appreciated!!!!

Thanks Mike

The boat I'm interested in is not local

Talk to Rod (corrirod) here. He works at Aman Marine, and they do demo rides in the Glacier Bay's. You won't regret it, though you may want to check your bank account at the door. :shocked:

Yep! Talk to Corrirod, or Chas'n tail, they should be in Garibaldi this weekend giving Demo rides, the 22' GB Cat should be there, & the Ocean is the best place to truly see what they can do.
