World Cat 295 CC:


Easy-Riding Cat w/9'6" Beam


World Cat 295 CC
World Cat 295 CC

The World Cat 295 CC includes a standard hardtop with rocket launcher rod holders and an integrated glass windshield. The twin hulls each have sharp forward entry and high topsides and provides a safe, easy ride in conditions that keep many monohulls inside the inlet. Her 9'6" beam should give plenty of stability when drifting or trolling, and widely space twin outboards step up the maneuverability.

There's no question the Boston Whaler 330 Outrage is built for serious offshore fishing, but the model we tested was optioned out to please the family, as well. It included a Fusion stereo with LCD, iPod/iPhone dock audio, AM/FM/USB audio/VHF/WX/Sirius ready, a forward console lounge with flip-down armrests, aft facing couch with convertible work surface, “summer kitchen” in the cockpit and a wet head/shower. Top speed was 52.2 mph with twin Mercury Verado 350s in our tests.
