The Boat - 33' World Cat Tournament Edition

"WATER DAMAGE"

The "Water Damage" is a 33' World Class Catamaran 330TE built in 2005.  The semi-displacement catamaran hull design provides a pillow soft, smooth ride while cruising at 27-28 knots.  Her 10'6" beam helps make a solid platform when fishing, and reduces the snap roll you get from a deep-v type hull.  She is powered by 2 Yamaha 225 hp 4 stroke engines, ensuring a nice quiet ride without all the diesel fumes or smoke from older 2 stroke outboards.  The hard top and full enclosure allow us to stay protected for the ride out in the mornings and on those "sporty" days.  The ride of a power catamaran has to be experienced to be believed, it is hard to beat.  We have all required Coast Guard safety items, plus an EPIRB.  The full electronics package includes 2 VHF radios, Simrad auto pilot with repeater for control in the tower, Furuno Navnet with GPS, color sounder and radar.  We also have a first class sound system with XM satellite and CD player.   

 

This wonderful boat was my fishing platform for 3 years.  It provided me an opportunity that I feel no other boat in her class can.  We were able to fish many tournaments and run charters aboard this vessel in weather that kept many other boats at the dock, including many much larger ones!  She always did everything I asked of her and brought us all back safe, and typically with a lot of meat in the box!  We had a good showing in most tournaments and managed to finish first in the 2007 Barta Billfish tournament outboard division and 5th in the 2007 spring Calcutta Wahoo challenge.  Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and she is now for sale and waiting for her new owners.  There is no reason to keep such a fine vessel sitting and waiting as I put all my efforts forward into the new boat.
