TaJon- ???? for you

[MrHunters]

kr,
mine's only a 20' but i can testify, if you don't want to be "beat up" then there really isn't a question. i can't say enough about the ride when your running.

have you sea trialed any at this point? i would NOT pull any triggers until you do.

that said i have never talked to a cat owner that wishes they went back to a mono.

i'd say, every third trip i get a compliment and are asked about the ride (no joke)

I was thinking on the Cat a few months back, I had one to go look at, I saw a guy getting gas in a 25 or 27 cat and asked him about the boat.
He said he would not do it again, that in the ruff the hull would lift on one side and not the other and that it slaps in the middle at times.

I was looking at the 23 Sea Ox at the same time and all I got was good things said about it.

So I got the OX, its a great riding boat with the trim tabs, I love it!! But now I am wondering if I did the right thing?

O well there is always next time

TaJon,
How easy is it for you to boat fish over 125 lbs from the side? Are the gunnels really high from the waterline? Asked another way; can you lean over the side and get your hand wet? Just curious for tag and releasing the tuna. Also what is your burn at cruise?

I'm 6' tall and can barely reach the water if its calm.

Pulling in a fish for me hasn't been a problem. I haven't caught any

but I could do it pretty easy. I do go to the gym a bit though.
