We caught up with Team Loustic SuperSonic waiting out the weather at the John Wayne Marina. They told us all about their hull and deck coming apart. The deck is attached with pop rivets and many of them failed along one side for about two meters of the seam—when they realized the boat was acting sluggish, they looked inside to see at certain tacks, waves of water coming in filling the boat with about 100 gallos of water. They have since repaired it quite nicely and they're drying off all their gear, ready to go on. The boat otherwise handled really well.

► While the Miami International Boat Show is renowned for its extravagance of all genres, and the debauchery of power displayed by many of the boats on show, the reality of the overall American boating market is far less spectacular: hulls under 26 feet are flooding a market more oriented towards inland waterways and protected bays than the open sea. In this context, the all-new WorldCat 235TE, developed from the 235CC Center Console, offers serious advantages in a compact hull - especially when compared to a monohull fishing boat of the same size. The 235TE boasts 35% more deck area, gets up on the plane three times faster for the same power and, above all, delivers fuel economy of around 40%. Range promises to be remarkable for this size of powercat, thanks to twin fuel tanks totaling 120 gallons (454 liters). During our visit to Miami, we were able to appreciate the practicality of all the fishing gear, as well as the remarkable quality of construction and finish. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: WorldCat Length: 22’7” (6.88 m) Beam: 8’6” (2.59 m) Draft: 9” (23 cm) Transom height: 25” (65 cm) Light displacement: 5,275 lbs (2,393 kg) Max. engine power: 2 x 300 HP outboards Fuel capacity: 2 x 60 US gal (2 x 227 l) Livewell capacity: 30 US gal (114 l) ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
