Check it out while down at FLIBS we hoped onboard the Foil Cat and wanted to give everyone a walk through video of this awesome concept and project. She has a 600+Want mile range, cruises in the mid 40's and rides smooth thanks to the foils. Want to know more reach out to us.
We've shown a lot of content on this and on the build, all the incredible Garman, the Empire Bus, the Lumishore , the fusion stereo system. Well, now it's done. We're in Lauderdale. I want to give you guys a quick walkaround tour of this boat. And some of the highlights of this is, first of all, we'll start back here. We've got a pair of the Mercury four hundreds with the Optima steering system. As you can see, it's holding us in place right now with the position hold on it. And we've got a 12 foot beam. So we're pushing those motors really far apart. So those motors are really able to lever just really nice and hold us in place. And then you're going to see here we have dual live wells here. We've got the really nice Gemlux Hardware. We come in here, we've got nice thick hatches. If you take a look down in there, we've got Lumishore bait well lighting inside of there. Everything's all good to go. We've got matching on both sides because it is a catamaran. We've got that kind of room. We also have moved my bag out of the way, incredibly deep and great access down here in these bilges. So we take a look down here. We've got a lot of space down there. Everything's really nicely rigged, easy access. And again, that's matching on both sides. And then as we make our way forward here, we've got another storage box, fish box right here. That's all set up. We've got all drained of all insulated. We can do whatever we need to with that. So go ahead and get that one shut. And if we pan around back over here, you're going to see we have three across seating here and at the helm. So just at the back area here, we've got our two from the bench, we've got three here, we've got three here. And the nice thing of this is we've got great use of storage. So if we take this, this is held in place by magnets, then we open this up and now we have tackle box storage and just more storage here. And then we can go ahead and close this back up to put this guy back in place. And then we also have storage under here as well. You see, we have our life raft, our flares, everything else in here along with our fusion speakers. So that is all happening right there. And as you make our way forward here on the boat, you're going to see again, like we talked about, we have the three across helm seating. We've got the complement here of the trio of the 17 inch Garmin, 8600 displays. You can see we have our Lumishore controls here. We have our engine display here. And then if we come over here, we can come in. We have already built in a custom home screen set up for just how they're going to use the boat and what they want to do with it. So now we can come in here, we can choose our different features, like our Empire bus. You see, this is going to go ahead and load up here. Now, we've talked a lot about the Empire Bus and what happens on here. We've got our different layouts for helm, for fishing and for lighting. So we are able to come in here and have all of that control right at our fingertips. So you see, we have a really nice big helm area. We've got overhead here. We've got more fusion speakers, we've got our Garmin VHF up here, we've got our Vesper Cortex right here. We've got our Merc display, our fusion stereo look in the here we have our Gemlux outriggers all set up and the hand cranks very easy to access, nice carbon fiber, hard top, beautifully done. So go ahead and we're going to make our way around over here into what I think is a really incredible part of this boat. You get into most catamarans, you're kneeling, you have a flat deck in here. But look, guys, I don't know, depending what convenience or I'm walking out of them about 5'10", 5'11". And at the end you got standing headroom in here and I've got a head, so I've got that space here. We can put a partition here and do a bunk on that side or we can have another drop in like this for more storage area. And then we've also got all very easy access to all of our rigging right here as well. So we've got this all very easy, good access, very clean, very simple, a mind towards serviceability and functionality of it. So as we make our way out of here, we're going to go up to a really cool feature I like on this boat and that's up forward and up forward here. If we look, we've got three across lounge seating and guys because this is a Foil cat, it's a big getup. It rides on a foil. It's a very smooth ride at 50 miles an hour. You can still sit up here and you're not going to get your back blown out on this. You're going to be very comfortable sitting in here.
