Pepe Boats and TT Boat Designs launch Catfish
01 May 2004
The new CatFish range is the latest design from Pepe Boats and TT Boat Designs. CatFish is suitable for charter, commercial and workboat use.
Because the hulls are not symmetrical, water is forced to roll back into itself, creating a soft, cushioned ride. Full depth keels offer excellent directional stability in both short and steep swell conditions.
Cruising speeds of 18-22 knots, with sprint speeds in excess of 26 knots, the typical engine horsepower requirements will be 15-20% lower than that of a similar-sized monohull.
Two CatFish 38s are to be used as commercial potting and netting boats on the south coast – these particular models have been specifically designed to comply with the ‘Under 10 metre’ Code of Practice and will be issued with 100-VCU licences.
