Carolina Cat Boats, a member of the PowerCat Group, has just announced a new 23-ft center console power catamaran. The 23CC cruises at 27 mph, has a top speed of 46 mph and a range of more than 250 miles. Its catamaran hull draws only 9 inches of water and is designed for smooth rides in rough seas.  This power catamaran is ideal for long offsore runs as well as hugging the shore to access the best fishing areas.  With seating for as many as 10 and twin four-stroke 115 Yamaha engines, this is a perfect cruising cat.

One of the newer offerings from the PowerCat Group is the Carolina Cat 18CC.  According to BoatTest.com, the PowerCat Group is the world’s largest manufacturer of catamarans, having produced more than 80,000 multi-hull boats.  The Carolina Cat 18CC is an 18′ basic utilitarian powerboat that provides a stable, safe ride and gets you where you want to go within a 120-mile range with a top speed of 35 mph and a 23 mph cruising speed.

The total price for the Carolina Cat 18CC and its Yamaha 115 HP 4-stroke engine is less than $35,000.  Read more about the Carolina Cat 18CC on the Carolina Cat website.
