For the up coming season of 2010/2011 we're proud to announce the arrival of our new Center Console Power Cat. We decided to go with another boat based on the demand we had from groups of popper and jig fishermen who wanted to do battle with some of the beasts we have swimming in our waters.
After much consideration and research we decided to go with a Power Cat as it made the best jigging and popping platform. We narrowed the search down and finally came up with the Pro Sports Pro-Kat 2860 which had the best layout for the job at hand.
Our new Pro-Kat is pushed by twin 225 hp 4 stroke Yammies, is kitted out with a brand new electronics package (Lownance HDS-8 Fishfinder and 50/200 sounder), VHF, EPIRB and all standard life saving appliances. We were lucky as this boat came completely rigged and ready to fish.
Our Cat being towed by Halcyon II once she was lowered into the sea from the ship she arrived on.
The next week was spent charging batteries, replacing oils, lubricants, restarting engines, fitting electronics, cleaning, polishing and getting all the systems on the boat rechecked. After our initial sea trials we were ready for all surveys, licencing and registration formalities, which can be quite a nightmare! Once completed we were ready to go!
We're eagerly waiting for October 2010 when our next season starts in full swing. This Cat's and those who fish on her are going to see some great fish. Since we had the boat early and ready for the season ahead, we decided we'd take her out with the boys to do a bit of fishing ourselves. Watch out for the next post..... Our first day fishing on Halcyon III!
Darran & Akshay.
