Who Makes a Large Catamaran with Outboards

Only one I have found is the Kit Cat boats up to around 42ft.
They are made in ST.Petersburg Florida.
I like the idea of outboards for easy service and can raise the motors
for shallow water.
I see smaller boats like World cats but not larger ones like the
Kit Cats make.Kit-Cats... Custom Power or Sailing Multihull Catamarans

I imagine any of the builders/companies would be happy to set up an engineless production cat with outboard set-ups so's it could get an order... not just for the bucks.... but quite possibly to see if they can do cheaper options.... iys a buyers market... even for new boats..
Give it a try... you only lose the time it takes to send the E-mails.....

Re: Who Makes a Large Catamaran with Outboards

I've owned a Kit Cat for the last 4 years and cannot say enough good things about my boat. Mine is the power/sail cat. I repowered her in'09 w/ twin Evinrude 115's. She can power at up to 20knots and can sail at 7kts. Because of the 2' draft she is the perfect Keys/ Bahamas boat. We are always cruising those waters. Built w/ all aviation grade materials, there is not a stress crack anywhere on the vessel. She turns a lot of heads whenever we are running a 40' sailing cat on up on a plane. The only negative thing I can say about my boat is that she doesn't sail into the wind well.

Re: Who Makes a Large Catamaran with Outboards

Have a look at the Powershuttle 47:

Powershuttle 47 Motorised Catamaran

It started life as a 43' version and was then streched, I saw the 43' and loved the lines.
