    Am considering purchasing a WorldCAt Center Console for off-shore fishing. Are catamarans better than DeepV's for that purpose? What are the plus/minus between the two designs?

    In a light to moderate sea I would say a well designed catamaran will ride very stable, be more fuel efficient, and be a great fishing platform. But I don't have enough experience aboard cruising/fishing (deeper hulled) cats to say how they perform compared to a v in heavy seas.

    I know Sport Fishing Magazine did a review a World Cat in the spring...

    If you are considering a Catamaran for offshore fishing you should take a look at the FinCat boats built by Parker Marine
