The folks at Performance build one
catamaran and there are many options from the screecher to
air conditioning, but yes only those that they offer. I wanted a different
VHF radio, standard
equipment, so I put an
Icom in and
sold the stock
radio. Performance uses and offers
equipment that they feel meets the
boats needs/requirements; the Screecher bow track is such an option and specific to the bow of the 105.Their
boats are built with specific equipment in mind by design it seems.
Next door to Performance in
Annapolis is Peter Kennedy Yacht services and he did all our after
purchase installations. I gave the batteries to a friend, I had a months use on them. I changed to Life Line sealed batteries from the lead acid because I added batteries to unvented locations.
Performance uses Kato davits, an option with a solar panel on top. I had Kato davits on my
Island Packet 350 and I put a solar panel on top. If it had not been an option from Performance I would have used them. I have never owned any other brand so I cannot know if others are better or not, but I had them for five years up and down the
Caribbean and some kind of rough conditions without a problem. Kato is located two doors down from Performance in
Annapolis and they buy a lot from them, not sure about
price difference. I thought it was pretty slick that I could have davits installed by the factory. Kato's stainless work is beautiful.
