Ken Kreisler ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE.png) A tough competitor whether fishing offshore or spending a day out with the family, the World Cat 235TE is sure to take care of business.Launched in 1998, **World Cat** started with just three models and has grown to serve over 80,000 customers worldwide. Today, the brand offers 14 models, including center consoles, dual consoles and sun decks, all designed and built in a cutting-edge 140,000-square-foot facility in **Tarboro, North Carolina**. Known for their advanced hull designs, World Cat boats excel in ride comfort, stability, deck space, load distribution and fuel efficiency. The **World Cat 235TE (Tournament Edition)** is a standout with additional fishing features like higher gunnels and increased fuel capacity, making it a top choice for serious anglers. ## Major Features & Notable Options ### **Major Features** - Foldaway bow jump seats - Pre-rig hook-up for bow trolling motor - Four gunnel-mounted rod holders forward - Fiberglass T-Top w/rocket launchers and spreader lights - Flip-bolster leaning post w/rocket launchers, tackle drawer & 45-qt.

This detail highlights World Cat’s commitment to safety and quality craftsmanship. Our test boat was powered by a pair of 150-hp Yamaha outboards, which proved to be quite efficient and provided the right amount of muscle. The cat hull allows for a centerline swim platform. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Livewell.png) A 30-gallon (113.5 L) livewell is conveniently located on the aft section's centerline. A freshwater shower hose is also found here. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Battery%20Switches.png) The easy-to-reach battery switches are inset in a separate and gasketed compartment to port. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Freshwater.png) The freshwater receptacle is located to starboard with a raw water hook up to port when deck wash downs are necessary. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Storage%20Lockers.jpg) These tackle storage lockers are located on port and starboard sides of the cockpit. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Transom.png) A pair of handy transom storage lockers are located here as well. Note the four rocket launchers on the back of the helm seat. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Helm%20Seat.png) Here are the in-sole 150-qt insulated fishboxes and the standard Yeti cooler forward below the double-wide helm seat. For convenience, the cooler slides out and can do double duty as an aft-facing seat. Those hatches just aft of the fishboxes provide access to the machinery space, batteries and bilge pumps. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Yeti%20Coolers.png) Opt for a pair of Yeti coolers with top cushions and get additional cockpit seating. ## Helm ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Helm.png) The well-managed helm station of the World Cat 235TE.The helm station offers plenty of usable space for the Garmin touchscreen plotter and Yamaha screen, with controls for the JL audio system, VHF, pushbutton switches, optional Vetus windlass and start/stop for the port and starboard engines all within easy reach. Our test boat was equipped with the optional 150-hp and comes with electronic steering and electronic controls. A joystick is also included in that package. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Steering%20Wheel.png) The 15.5" matte finish wheel is standard. An upgrade to a black matte finish wheel is available. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Helm%20Console.png) This handy inset above the helm console can hold keys, cellphone or other pocket items. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Side%20Vents.png) These opening side vents port and starboard allow for ventilation while running on hot, humid days. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Helm%20Seat-2.png) The double-wide helm seat is bolstered. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Rod%20Holders.png) Three additional rod holders are found on each side of the helm console. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20T-Top.png) For longer poles, there are cut-outs in the T-Top above. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20T-Top-2.png) The well-anchored T-Top offers many features.The 235TE's T-Top is sturdy and has spreader lights and five rocket launchers on its aft end. Grabrails abound as does overhead LED lighting. An upgrade to a black powder-coated finish including the leaning post frame is available as is a pair of Gemlux 18’ collapsible hybrid outriggers. ## Bow The bow design allows the beam to extend further forward, creating extra space in this area and providing wide, easy access around the boat. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Bow.png) Dual hatches flank the optinal windlass. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Bow-2_0.png) Six-inch pop up cleats and rod holders are located on both sides of the bow. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Cockpit.jpg) The forward seating, with a large dry storage compartment below, consists of a removable bow cushion, suitable for a casting platform, and a pair of fold-up benches that easily disappear into the sides. This area measures some 25.5+ square feet, allowing for plenty of angling space. Underneath each of the fold-up seats are storage bins. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Head.png) The head is located inside the forward part of the helm console and while not a complete stand-up space, it is adequate for its purpose. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Bow-3.jpg) Another option is this Yeti cooler/seat positioned in front of the door to the head space. ## Performance A cat hull is different than a monohull boat. It goes far beyond the obvious that there are two in the former. Spread out and carrying the wider beam more forward, boats such as the World Cat 235TE are able to present a larger footprint and generally offer more lateral stability, have a shallower draft, are somewhat faster due to reduced drag and an increase in buoyancy and, depending on size and function, offer more deck space and living space. Our test boat, with a weight of 5,908 lbs., two passengers and 42% of her 120-gallon fuel capacity, set out with a 5-10 knot wind and a calm sea state. Our air temp was 85 with matching humidity. She got up on plane quickly, with a hole-shot of 2.8 seconds to reach 10 mph, and 7.1 seconds to get to 30 mph. We hit a top speed of 48.5 mph while turning 5600 rpm, and a best cruise of 23 mph at 3000 rpm. Here, with a total fuel burn of 2.9 mpg, we calculated a range of 306 statute miles, or 265 nautical miles, both with a 10% fuel reserve. She handled tight turns and other maneuvers with assurance and when we trimmed one engine out of the water, running our 235 TE on the other in a pretend ‘get-home’ situation, we reached 27+ mph. ## Summary With its well-documented past and present successes with cat design, fastidious attention to using the latest construction techniques and outfitting each boat to match its owners’ needs, the company offers the World Cat 235TE as she joins a much-admired lineup, bringing with her own identity. She is a well-equipped out-of-the-box boat and adding a string of options will make her that much more admired. If you are new to this kind of boat, together with her handling, performance, and, due to those engines being so far apart, can supply relative ease of docking in close-quarters situations, you are urged to get your hands on the wheel and get out on a sea trial. The experience will be well worth your time. ![World Cat 235TE](/sites/default/files/World%20Cat%20235TE%20Running.png) **Remember, life is better on a boat!** ## Test Video Summary ### Overview The World Cat 235TE (Tournament Edition) is a power catamaran center console with extra features for the hardcore angler, including higher gunwales and more fuel capacity, without forgetting comfort for family days.
