Over 15 years ago, Billy Freeman hand-built a offshore ready, fishing catamaran in his garage. That first Freeman boat opened the eyes of Americans on the big advantages catamarans have when it comes to ride, room, efficiency, etc.

Since then, a number of boat companies (Invincible, Sea Hunter to name a couple) that were known for monohull designs have entered the big Cat space.

This video chronicles a review of the Foilcat 34. I met the company owner Todd on the water, asked him about the boat and he was kind enough to take me out for a ride.

    Glad you got a hold of him and asked the tough questions on pricing, a boat that size NOT BAD hopefully they make something a little smaller for people like me looking to get their first rig
  • @MrNooner319
    Good job with showing the numbers. He seems to be a nice guy putting out a good product. The boat has a very good layout that will accommodate both sides of the fence.
  • @sapelesteve
    As a Cat owner myself, that looks like a really nice rig & those gas burn numbers are hard to believe for a boat that size! Thanks for the video John! 👍👍 We won't talk about price however.....
  • @duffmeister6480
    I didn’t realize there were that many millionaires out there, I guess I missed the BOAT ! Great video. Thanks.

    I know the GoPro has it's limits but being a active boater I can see clearly the washing machine water which is what I see coming out of the CT River into LI Sound and it can be rough, but this boat, Holy Crap, it was walking thru that slop like nothing. Super, super impressive.
  • Mr. Skinner. I’m buying that boat. I just told the gentleman he’s lucky he put you on board that boat because you are well respected in my book. I love this boat I will buy one.
  • @donmeola5862
    😍😍😍 Wow! 🤩 What a beautiful boat! Love the room! So spacious and well laid out! Nice ride and fuel efficiency for a boat this size. Very impressive. Nice review John. I’m going to play Lotto tonight. I want one of these!
  • Beautiful boat! As a lover of the catamaran design and performance. I’d love to see it run on a incredibly rough day. Thanks John and Todd!
  • @bundysnap69
    Awesome. Imagine how good it could be with Sharrow props??
  • @stephenleone2375
    Interesting combination of cat hull, with steps, and this foil technology, which appears to deliver great results.
  • @cordellej
    get a custom built one with inboard 300hp diesels and hydrogets . that would be a long range beast
  • @edgewater210
    John: Thank you for posting this video. It is an awesome boat and I hope Todd will do well with it.
  • @scottamolinari
    Impressive build quality from what I can see. Well done!
  • @NYGOLD
    I would love to see how that boat would perform in heavy chop and a choppy following sea. Also what happens if you hit something with that foil, like a log or something? Will you break the foil off? If so do you sink or just replace the foil? How many plastic bags get stuck on the foil and does it screw things up?
  • @ZuluBlackout
    You’ve absolutely sold me on this boat. I wish I had the money 😢
  • @jtpalooki7757
    Quite the boat!.. if I find myself with 600k burning a hole in my pocket I’ll definitely get one.. for now gotta settle for a used glacier bay w/ twin 150s…. And that’s good too!😊
  • @danielkoch9596
    I’m local to where the boat is manufactured. Incredible boat. Go to the factory and see the quality of the build.. if I could swing it I would 100% own this boat over the one of the other manufacturers by far…
  • @ScoutyBoyO
    I own a cat too. The foil is the future. Super boat. I hope he will make a dual console for the "family first" boater. Aquila has a foil assist, but it is made in China.
  • @AriffAffendi
    she looks sweet... might drop by foilcat in the future. thanks man....
  • @davidmorais480
    Wow cool boat. I own 2 boats a 29’ and 16’ and I could never afford to buy them now. If I could afford an offshore boat for serious bottom fishing I’d buy this Cat
