“Our World Cat Custom division began with our launch of the 400DC-X dual console model,” says World Cat Marketing / International Sales Manager Alexandra Flora.
Engineered to handle a wide variety of sea conditions and applications, World Cat uses precise CAD/CAM 3D modeling, examining critical areas, such as friction-reducing tunnel and hull hydrodynamics, planing surfaces, and balancing weight and strength ratios. Every detail of the build — from the vinylester barrier coat and gelcoat to the pre-cut and pre-shaped bi- and tri-directional knitted cloth, including using 32-ounce woven roving from chine to chine — results in a better boating experience.
Her T-top bristles with ‘riggers, rocket launchers and electronics. The bow with a casting deck, three forward hatches and ample fighting area is the kind of space only available on a cat-designed boat.
The console offers a freshwater head and a vanity with sink, storage and Corian countertops. Lockable rod storage is on either side of the console. The in-deck, insulated 154-gallon fishboxes feature overboard gulper pumps. Other fishing amenities include nine gunnel-mounted rod holders, a transom door and, of course, the big-muscled pair of XF425-hp Yamaha outboards for power.
“Our all-new 400CC-X is the product of countless hours in R&D spent to develop a CC catamaran model that is customizable with different modules ideal for a customer’s specific use,” Flora says.
The long list of optional equipment includes a Garmin electronics package, a Yamaha Helm Master EX Joystick System with Auto-Pilot, underwater lights, a summer kitchen and Gemlux Bluewater outriggers.
