I wanted the biggest boat I could trailer with no permitts


prop nut

Recommended Posts

Well this is what i ended up with

270Ht world cat

power steering and weekender package

T225 Honda power

Float on 10,000 gvw trailer with electric over hyd disc brakes

Garmin 7212 rarad W/ active targeting ghc-10 auto pilot

Garmin 200 radio

fish hawk x4

clarion 1500w stereo

2 traxs tech 8' trolling bars down each side

2 big john brute riggers

;will upgrade to the new vector/traxstech as soon as they are out;

cruise speed 40mph

tops out at 52+ mph depending on water conditions / weight in boat

troll fuel consumption on one motor .5 gph

best cruise speed 32mph we get about 4 mpg

wide open throttle we get about 1 mpg

holds 200 gallons of fuel

Geat on fuel fast when you want it to be and handles the rough stuff like a boat 25% larger all this and trailerable

that is an awesome looking rig. just how wide is it?? i have a 270 amberjack i got last fall, but its 10 feet wide, so i,ve got to get permits to even take it fishing. i dont see where a permit makes it eaiser to tow. i think its just another way the goverment gets there hands in our pockets,LOL. but not really very funny. i tow from indiana to lake erie. so i have to file insuarence papers and get permits for indiana and ohio. i didnt get them this year and got away with it. i didnt even know i needed them. but if i use the boat next year i,ll have to get them. if its to much trouble i,ll just sell this boat and go back to my 21 ft cobia.

I have slept in it only a couple times it is roomy and comfortable

inside the cabin it has a great big clothes closet a full size bed side to side in the bow section a frig/freeze (great for keeping the meat rigs cold) a galley maid punp out head

The boat is desighned to go from miami to the bahamas spend week there (on the boat) and come back with out buying gas

World cat dont make any cabin models any more less than 29' or 8.5 wide like this one is

The price difference between the 27 and the 29 that has a 10.5 wide beam was minimal and they could not sell enough 27s to keep them in the line up

I have been a dealer for them untill recently they are great boats just too expensive for our market especially because they are not building many or any little ones any more they no longer make many trailerable boats or should i say trailerable with out permitts

I am considering replacing the world cat line with Steiger craft its a heavy deep V but you get a good bang for the buck

what do you guys think of Steiger craft?????

I will miss my world cat when it eventually sells

It has brought me home a lot of times when the weather has turned BAD on us

But thats the way the boat business is

not good

i hope things will be better if i can pull off this move to Michigan iin the near future

i will snap some pictures of the inside of the cuddy cabin this week some time and get them posted for any one interested

Thanks for looking

Frank
