Whaler 160 | 53 mph Cat | DPS Retrofit - 2/24/2026

FOAM-FILLED, V-HULL The 160 Super Sport replaces Whaler’s classic cathedral hull with a 15-degree V for improved ride while retaining Unibond foam-filled construction. With the optional 90-hp Mercury, she topped out at 37.3 mph and hit plane in 3.4 seconds. Six-person capacity, simple helm layout, and multiple seating options keep her focused on easy family boating. She is ideal for starting out children and grandchildren.
 

OPEN GLASS, OPEN PLAN The Manhattan 56 advances Sunseeker’s long-running flybridge series with a 56'6" platform and 16' beam. Expanded main-deck glazing increases natural light, while a modular aft cockpit converts between dining and a full-beam sunpad. A main-deck galley allows three cabins below, including a full-beam master. 
 

BEAM WITHOUT TAPER The 400DC-X Island carries her full 12'8" beam from bow to stern, creating a single-level deck uncommon in boats under 40'. Built in Tarboro, NC, World Cat has focused exclusively on power cats since 1998. Standard power is twin 450-hp Yamaha XF V8 XTOs, with Mercury options to 600 hp. In testing with twin 600s, she reached 53.2 mph and ran 0–30 mph in 8.0 seconds.
 

NO DISCHARGE MEANS NONE Discharging untreated sewage within three miles of shore has been illegal since 1987, yet violations still happen. This Waterway Guide report breaks down MSD types, No-Discharge Zones, and the simple steps that keep holding tanks compliant and anchorages clean. A quick read that could prevent fines and awkward dockside conversations.

HOLD POSITION The Dockmate DPS V2 adds dynamic positioning to boats not originally equipped with station-keeping. In Ocean Mode, she holds position using engines alone, aligning the stern into wind or current and maintaining location within about one boat length. Precision Mode integrates engines and proportional thrusters to hold both heading and position, typically within half a boat length. Approximate kit price is $17,500, installation not included.
