I have been researching the difference between monohulls and cats for a very long time and this video explains everything. Thanks for the video guys

[@suprabo]

I think all the haters on here have mono hulls :), I have had both and currently own a cat. There is no comparison. The cat is a better boat all around.

[@xacxoc423]

How rich u r 🙄

[@stormtrooper8420]

For comfort yes but for people who wants fun mono is the best. You can feel the sees with mono and it's faster and more maneuverable and less expensive

[@Jassman3536]

once you have owned a cat it is very hard to switch back to a mono hull. All boats have their + & -'s, but the cat has way more positive aspects in rough water, head seas, trolling, stability and way more room do to design being basically a rectangle.

[@chippyjohn1]

A high aspect ratio monohull is better, especially in very rough water, a cat will just get flipped, mono cuts through waves. If you compared a mono to a cat with the same area and displacement, the mono being longer and cat wider, the mono wins.

[@viasevenvai]

@@chippyjohn1 cats are unballasted which also allows them to float if wrecked. Im sure a mono hull can turn or top out higher but the advantages are in favor of cat by far.

[@guntman6084]

Look up Freeman vs yellowfin/contender and see if you still think that.

[@bradtippa7523]

Some are saying the cat handled better because it was going slower. Cats lift and handle even better than monos when going faster, so it was an unfair comparison against the cat that still was better. I’ve been in dozens of monos from 5m to 8m and the 7.4m Marlin Broadbill i have been on in huge seas reeled in and passed every single mono hull within eyesight. I own two monos and am in the process of buying my next offshore boat- a cat. Nothing comes close for stability, deck space, fuel efficiency and handling. Only the uneducated comment against cats.

[@jcjmellett1692]

This comparison will be best if both boats run the same speed

[@darenleeper1644]

You dont buy a contender to go as slow as a cat.

[@guntman6084]

Freeman’s are faster than Contenders.

[@lostonlongisland6845]

@@guntman6084 but both ride like junk

[@oceaecoltd1036]

I had 3 mon hulls but switching to Cat. Considering comfort, stability, and more space for guests!! will share the experience as for 20 years I have been living with mon.

[@vigilanterc]

Cats are always the best. I always say "If it's not a Cat..........It's a Dog"

[@kevmn]

wonder if they are even using the same camera mount on each boat

[@Steve-Jody]

V Hull running faster , wouldn’t that be an effect to the ride?

[@ReefMimic]

Catamaran ftw

[@bMacTV]

Wonderful visual comparison. Thank you.

[@codyseymour9618]

Well they were in the same conditions but clearly not the same speed...I would have liked to see how much the mono hull ride improved if they would have slowed down to match the cat boats speed

[@kevmn]

wonder if the mono was light on fuel as well...

[@CitizenMio]

Yeah I'd like to see both of equal length in rough seas going moderately slow.

[@michaellns2860]

Yeah when I'm off shore I definitely want to go slower seriously

[@sayaRiddles97]

Mono hulls had a little bumpy ride catamaran design keeps the boat stable even with a top speed

[@walley2637]

makes me wonder why most boats we see are monohull?

[@CitizenMio]

At least two to three times the price, twice as much maintenance and docking fees. If I could I'd still get one though.

[@surcamar]

Thank you.

[@markuswilmes3694]

People who bag cats have never owned I’ve had lots of both and cats can’t be beaten in rough seas or as a fishing platform

[@FakedStick]

Larger mono with stabilizer, how it works comparing to cat?

[@gregf7103]

Great comparison... thanks! Now just need to do some research on cruising speeds and efficiency, any insight?

[@fg146]

Cat is better in both categories.

[@kioawies6044]

is catamaran suitable for fishing?

[@lesgrossman9492]

No they are impossible to fish out of.

[@dustintunis9347]

Looks to me like the V-hull needs to trim down a bit to stop the porpoising.

[@diytutorialsandmore9804]

Dustin Tunis Yh sounds good to me cats are still less twithy and jaring unless your 42 foot and up imho

[@robertotto5811]

Trim all you want. You will still always get less porpoising with a cat.

[@inVINSONable1]

Except one is using stabilization and the other isnt......lol

[@michaelchiappetta3453]

We have a 90 ft aluminum cat in our company with twin 3412 cats in her. 3000 hp each with variable pitch props etc, cats r nice to sit and fish and yes they ride nice in chop. Suck in a head sea. Rattle your teeth out. That’s just this rig.

[@trevorforbes2382]

Also that cat is getting smoked in this.

[@lostonlongisland6845]

yea totally blew away the catamaran, couldnt even see the other boat in the video lmao!

[@Insolation1]

only cats go airborn and flip

Lol let’s see the cat turn lol 😂

Cats turn just as good as monos

[@trevorforbes2382]

@@kikokampen3178 lol sure. Let see that world cat lay over in a hard turn and not try to throw you along with all your gear out of the boat. Link one video of a world cat even making a hard turn.

[@webincomeincome8767]

You have obviously never driven a cat or you would know better.

[@trevorforbes2382]

@@webincomeincome8767 I run a world cat before! It bow steered, Was wet, and turned like shit all while being slow lol ! I’ve been in a freeman. That leaned the wrong way in a turn like it wanted to kill you.

[@webincomeincome8767]

@@trevorforbes2382 just because a cat reacts differently does not mean it’s bad it’s simply different. Why do you think cats kick the assess of monohulls in any offshore race with a bit of chop? I assure you it’s not because they aren’t more efficient or can’t turn.
