They are all ugly. Bad enough offshore only turned into field and stream, with nothing but fishing boats now. All we have left is Cats, now they are going fishing boats😂😂😂😂

Has nothing to do with Freeman, been in the works for years, and was the original idea of someone no longer with us that near their end was workjng with Nick and the team to see it come true. His family was 1st to ride in it since he couldnt. |
I had the pleasure of seeing it a few months ago when I was at the Statement Factory - was impressive then and even more so now that its completed. Nick, Craig and the team at Statement did an excellent job.

If this rides like a Freeman and has the build quality needed for this level of buyer, it will 100% be a gamechanger. Its going to be tough to beat the foothold that Nor-tech, MTI, Cigarette, Mystic, Sunsation, Fountain, and others already have but NONE of them ride like a Freeman to conquer big chop at speed. I see this as being an incredible market addition.

Most of the fishing cats have a twin V style hull. This looks more like an old school racing cat that’s a split V and a smaller tunnel than the new style catamarans.
Insetta is building a similar hull. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2014...-i45c-9629178/ https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e02925a015.png |

Joe Statement has their own foot ithe market for all you listed, this is just branching out |
Was just saying that first thought was it looks like a Freeman. I love the look. The Statement looks beautiful. I’m sure it performs well also. Nice boat, hope it sells well for them.

The real question is if the hull is air entrapment or just designed to split the waves. A true modern air entrapment cat hull as a center console would be very interesting.

I always thought the "twin hull" concept for fishing boats was more about maintaining a level stance with everybody on one side of the boat while fishing. No? Thanks. Brad. |
