sherman51 Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 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.sherman
Paulywood Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Got any interior pictures Frank? Not looking anytime soon but I have definitely thought about the cats. It would be nice to have a little more stable ride.
prop nut Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 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
BenLubbs Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I like the boat Frank. I'll have to show it this to my dad and he might buy me one, he loves cats
