Quick question? All the boats I have owned where "stand up" boats with drop down bolsters, how difficult is it to get accustomed to a "sit down" boat? Sitting lower in the boat would seem to change your vision while underway?

I own a 3600 supercat with Nortech power. There are many things you should be told that are not showing up in these threads. I would be happy to take the time to discuss with you the knowledge I have learned from my time as an owner. [email protected] or 903-235-2250

Sitting down on long poker runs is clearly the way too go.. and unlike Vee hulls, Cats ride ontop of the water so you dont have to brace yourself with standing up..... Looking through a windshield or Canopy does take some getting used to, however its well worth the money!

That would take some getting used to, my father has a larger Larson Cruiser and it drives me NUTS to try and drive it while looking through the windshield, luckily the windows "fold forward" so, I just open them when driving it, but, it might not be as bad in a cat because I wouldn't have a roof over my head, so, it might not feel as "enclosed"

The white NT is mine. I went from a stand up 28' V to this boat. It did not take any time getting used to a sit down. I prefer it much more then a stand up. I keep the windsheild very clean and do not have any visibility problems with it. I will take a variety of trades. Looking for a smaller cat since i moved upstate or cars. Specifically a 28 skater, 25 talon, or hemi cuda.

No they don't, but whats your point. Most small cats dont. They do have high back seats though, like the skater, which is more important.

The 36 NT runs so flat that visibility is not a problem. If someone is severly vertically challanged, the seat could be raised for better visibility. My wife is 5'4" and does not have a problem.
