The LeisureCat 8000 StormCat is designed for serious fishing and diving and with plenty of room and comfort for just lounging around to soak up the sun. The deck is fully moulded with a raised cockpit coaming and moulded side pockets and lockers. Twin large underdeck catch tanks are standard. The forward lounge seats have hinged tops for storage under. A marine toilet and storage area has been incorporated into the driving cuddy. Recommended engine power is 2x150hp to 200hp 4-stroke outboards. It includes our renowned full-length wavebreaker for that soft ride. Many innovative options have been designed to work with the StormCat, such as the "hutch" to cover the foredeck for over-night accommodation, a removable table to turn the fordeck area into a huge sundeck, hidden stove and sink, and a slip-in seat to extended the seating right across the cab.
With over 100 boats on the start line everyone was fighting for air shortly after the start, with the tide coming in all day it paid to get right early to find both clear air and some relief from the stronger tide out in the main channel. On the way back in the trick was to find the deepest part of the channel to ensure you were in maximum tide to increase your speed over ground. Things were still tight as we made it down to the Harbour Turning mark off Cork City.
