Great job, Cap'n!

[@Sportfot]

Great video, pretty helpful to decide which direction to go !

[@CaptPeterson]

Thank you, I am learning more and more about these beasts. Many more video's to come!

[@kenbouse8187]

I'm buying a 26-foot Go Fish tomorrow love the video.

[@CaptPeterson]

Thanks man. It’s a capable boat 💯

[@hjcclx4]

Great content! Cats rule!!!

[@CaptPeterson]

💯 truth about cat’s. I am working to make my channel a little better everyday:)

[@davesoltoggio3280]

The bit in the middle of hull is called a wave breaker! I’ve own multiple cats and I currently run a Liesurecat in 2C Survey! Once you own a cat you never go back! 💯👍🏼👌🏼

[@instagramfirstmatekevinc7478]

I LOVE THE FALCON BOATS👍👍

[@CaptPeterson]

The are well built 💯.

[@object-89P13]

Michael Peters+Morrelli&Melvin=best hulls 😉👍

[@hayezmohairbi]

I have a question if I would like to design one with deferent deck layout, like one for fishing and cruising and the other for family and a Weekender with little fishing, do you have contact that can design it and make the mold?

[@captjim007]

I agree with what your saying. After looking at these newer boats I feel like an old outdated cat owner. Sometimes old can be cool. I own a 2000 Glacier Bay 2680 Coastal Runner with twin 150's. Yep, It is one of the old Glacier Gay cats used doing their promotional long distance runs from Hawaii to Midway Island and Seattle to Alaska etc.. The old Glacier Bay is still getting it done even after 20 years.

[@CaptPeterson]

Sometimes oldies are goodies. That’s a fine boat, and I am sure that story has inspired many people to try and buy catamarans 💯. Think of your boat as a fine wine that gets better with age. Like the original IPhone or the 1st pair of Air Jordan’s.

[@captjim007]

Thanks, I use it primarily for ocean fishing out of Northern California, It has new electronics, outboards and trailer but the boat itself is still almost like new.

[@georgedoolittle7574]

@@captjim007 Moving beyond Center Consoles is what makes Catamarans the best imo. I don't see a need to move beyond a 115 hp is necessary with a cat as well...maybe a 130 ho. Obviously a huge price difference when you move beyond a 115 hp engine across the board.

[@joebailey7028]

The Freeman is a better boat any way you cut it. The Freeman is built in SC to make the 70 mile ride to the stream comfortable. Great ride, great company and great history!!

[@CaptPeterson]

Freeman’s are fine boats with a good ride. They are certainly great at marketing their story. If I was was spending that kind of money I would need to get to know their team like family. In my experience the company that feels more like family to me is Invincible 💯. Could that change overtime? Maybe. I can only go off of my experiences to this point.

[@Semperfi2011]

I wish I could’ve been there the day Billy Freeman and Jesus invented the offshore cat.

[@hunteralex670]

I've always experienced issues trolling into a head sea on a cat. Does the new hull design on the Invincible alleviate this?

[@CaptPeterson]

I don’t have any experience trolling with that hull.

[@haydensavage2083]

Yall, should check out berky boats. Its a 40ft-44ft full carbonfiber catamaran insanely light. 1 built so far and many more to come.

[@CaptPeterson]

I would love to. Sounds amazing! If you like carbon fiber boats you may like my video on HammerCat 35, it’s made of epoxy and carbon fiber.

[@chrism0066]

You are absolutely correct the Invincible 40 is definitely the best out there.

[@CaptPeterson]

I put a bunch of days into this. I was most impressed by Invincible’s team. They had a super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and personable staff. If a company takes such care in their teams happiness and preparedness they will always have the best product. Companies are about people, than the products.

[@yessuhyessuh2100]

rather buy a 42lr freeman

[@ScoutyBoyO]

Great analysis. Have you looked at foil technology? What about Hysucat? A video on your thoughts on foils would be cool. I think hysucat and Aquila are the only two with this feature. I am a cat fan too and ex military. Rangers lead the way! Huah.

[@CaptPeterson]

Yeah man that Hysucat and Aquila are sick 💯. I will be sure to do a video on it when the Rona dies down in the fall hopeful fully. Check out the Carbon Cat inflatable they are super cool also. Thank you for your service brother. Many more videos on the way! Especially when it’s Twin Vee, and Invincible.

[@ScoutyBoyO]

@@CaptPeterson Thanks for your service too.

2 Hybrids that handle offshore well...Calcutta and Cayo.

[@shanenaccari1343]

What's your opinion of the Twin Vee 36 GF?

[@CaptPeterson]

I have not had it out on the water yet but it’s a beast. I should get it on film in next few months.

[@roostercogburn746]

Question??? If money is not a concern, who builds the highest quality cat's in the 30+ foot range? Just looking for your personal opinion. Thanks

[@CaptPeterson]

Thanks for watching. Freeman may have an edge under 36ft as they have so many in the field battle tested. Invincible has the best hull tech, but not as many battle tested hours. Prowler / Worldcat has been making big cats a long time. They have a great value and solid build. Sea hunters probably showed the best. I personal would buy a Freeman up to 36ft and Invincible 36ft + if money wasn’t a big factor in my decision. If running charters I would buy the HammerCat 35. Hope this helps.

[@roostercogburn746]

@@CaptPeterson Thanks!!!

[@CaptPeterson]

My pleasure.

[@MT-np5lp]

Freeman over Invincible any day!

[@yessuhyessuh2100]

the proof is in the pudding i mean nothing beats the ride that freeman provides

[@jeanetp9343]

I build hellkats powerboats this guy start the video w a freeman and later say Incencible is the best lol

[@bobbystevens4087]

Information on affordability Fuel economy And value It's hard to come by. My brother has an older ProKat so I have been ruined. New cats are more money than I am willing to spend although a new Twin Vee is tempting.

[@drrhenry]

How do you feel about the Aquila 32?

[@CaptPeterson]

It gets me in the feels. Can’t wait to get out on it:)

[@roostercogburn746]

Great video! Never been on a cat, do they have room for a head?

[@CaptPeterson]

Thanks man. The same as any center console.

[@gladheateher4now]

So who's boat handles the best at sea ? Looking for the best handling big cat

[@CaptPeterson]

It’s going to completely depends on the conditions. Some cats do better in bigger waves if they have bigger tunnels, some do better in a chop, some do better turning. What conditions are we talking about?

[@gladheateher4now]

@@CaptPeterson Hi, big swells and chop mostly.

[@jacobkrzyzek5777]

[@Sportfot]

Which is the best cat to go fishing max 27 foot and under?

[@CaptPeterson]

How much time do you have to wait for the build? What type of fishing do you do?

[@Sportfot]

Capt. SGT Peterson's - More than just fishing bottom fishing and trawling

Did you have the opportunity to see the eastward cats??

[@CaptPeterson]

No but I would like to. Can’t wait for boat shows to start back up 💯.

[@donelrod7875]

Is it true while anchored cats rock rougher than monohull? I've been told cats will figure eight while anchored.

[@CaptPeterson]

In my experience they are much more stable in every way compared to a monohull.

[@donelrod7875]

@@CaptPeterson Thank you! I'm looking into buying my first offshore boat and want to be sure I pick the right one.

[@sunkissedvacationrental2054]

Don’t buy a 26’ Twin Vee. Specially if you have never owned a cat. They are the worst at turns.

[@samg1171]

You should show more video of the boats intstead of your face

[@CaptPeterson]

Than I wouldn’t get amazingly insightful comments.

[@toddw6555]

Why do we have to see your face more than the boats?

[@CaptPeterson]

You don’t.

[@karldunnegan2689]

That's a fair criticism. It's a video about boats, show the boats while doing a voice over maybe.

[@erichong5357]

Do you have any opinions on the 31 twinvee? How would you compare it to other cats in the 30 ft range?

[@CaptPeterson]

They did not have the 31ft Twin Vee at the show. But it sounds like I will have a chance to do a longer in depth review on either that one or the 36 in the coming months.

[@adrianrubi5012]

No Insetta here?

[@sunkissedvacationrental2054]

Bought a new 26’ Twin Vee and the factory has very poor support. They only have one person “Preston” that does the everything including design, run the factory and warranty support. Tried to get a replacement part within the one year warranty and they say they changed there product and no longer carry the product. So I’m out of luck. They won’t provide warranty and provide the replacement product. Also, they have not fixed the turning problem on this model. All there 26 will turn AWAY from the turn after 30 mph. It’s VERY dangerous! The new 24’ doesn’t do it. I wouldn’t by the 26 again. I would trade it for the 24’. But I also would not buy TwinVee again. There are allot of other better boats on the market now.

[@CaptPeterson]

I think the problem is people thing a boat warranty is like a car warranty. Sadly they are not. It’s really up to the dealer to take care of your issues. Catamaran’s will turn hard one way or the other if the weight and balance is slightly off. With that said do you have any add one that may have your boat heavy on one side. I have noticed this problem even if I have one person or equal weight standing further to the side than the other. Also if you have water in bilge this can make a huge difference. Cats need constant fine running with trim when your running in different wave patterns and heights. Twin Vee’s are a good boat, but I agree the 26ft needs to be updated 💯.

[@randyhonaker2270]

Did you test a Prowler?

[@CaptPeterson]

They day I was going to run it the sky opened up and everyone went inside. This year I will 💯. I am a big fan!

[@larryhart7027]

[@morimotohid6024]

Great reviews, but Catamarans did not originate in South Africa. First made by the Tamils in the 17th Century.

[@CaptPeterson]

They have been around probably longer than we know 💯.

Capt. SGT Peterson's - More than just fishing We still loved your video & gave it a wonderful thumps up!

[@CaptPeterson]

I will reach out to those guys after my summer fishing slows down.

[@georgedoolittle7574]

I think the reason for "why cats?" is because the fastest (racing) power boats have always been cats so this engineering goes back to the 1960s.

[@CaptPeterson]

It goes back even further, they made Woden powercats back in the day. But yes I agree.

[@chadshores1731]

I’ve ridden on both in heavy seas and you could not be more wrong about the invincible vs the freeman. The freeman makes the invincible look like a toy. Don’t put out an analysis on best boats before you educate yourself first hand. Take away the freeman rides better and is faster it is the same price. You need to do a little more research bud

[@CaptPeterson]

Homie. I will not shut up and dribble.

[@1lenzter]

Cats originated in polynesia

[@CaptPeterson]

Help me understand what you mean. Like what suggestions do you have? Thank you.

[@Benferno]

Your B-roll has too much eratic motion. Static shots would have been better than an inexperienced stabilizer operator. Slow down the movements. Do just one move at a time; i.e. if you're gonna push in, just push in. slow. If you're gonna pull back, just pull back slow. If you're gonna pan right, just pan right. If you're gonna tilt up, just tilt up. Pull-pan-push-tilt-rotate is not a camera move.
