Nah mate I dont but I know a guy who does and he loves it
super stable, super layout he has a 225 or 250 and its a weapon around 50knots.
Told they bit harsh in chop if driven hard but 2.49 beam has to be.
as per usual trade off stability for ride.
my 600 evo weighs about 2750 with a full tank of fuel,, lees got twin etecs on it ive got a single 250hp suzuki..
I cant see lees boat weighing in at 2200 even on an ally.
@coldanman You wait till you get in a cat, I usually drink a cold one as I pass all the poor mono's struggling. Don't think I could go back to mono's anymore motoring in rough weather is just so much easier in a cat.

im wif old mate. cats are the go. iv been in formula's and othere single hulls. there good but no were as good as cats. my old man has a 2800 kevlacat. and in 20 kt plus we leave the mono hulls for dead. we are cleaning fish and sucking stubbies by the time they get in.. ohh and there sore.
Now you are losing us snapper hunter. Many boats mentioned here, Haines, evos, but now you bring up a 28 ft cat. Surely this is gonna outperform any 6 m boat in every aspect. You need to decide on the size you want, then the budget then move from there.

600xtreme. That is an excellent boat you have there.
Seriously, when you are heading out to the fishing spot through the ruff stuff, how does your boat compare to the HHs and the cats.
I imagine there would not be many trailer boats that would go past you in the ruff????
mate without being biased the evo handles the following sea better than riding into a sea... I can also tell ya that it is also very very stable and has a very big deck space.
Now Wildfish........
Sorry if I lost you Wildfish. Forget about the reference to the 28ft cat - I just pasted that comment made by someone else who has experienced cats and monos first hand. That is the type of experienced advice I was looking for.
You wrote "You need to decide on the size you want, then the budget then move from there."
Size is around 6m but then would a 5.4m cat outperform a 6m HH mono? Its an important factor.
F#$K the budget. I want my next boat to be a performer. I want this to be worthy upgrade. I would be so pissed off if I purchased a HH600R which gets passed on the way to P2 by an old $15 000 shark cat. And we both know which will be the more stable fishing platform.
