Larger Flybridge Kevlacats?

[rat_catcher]

Any feedback on the larger flybridge Kevlacats with twin shaft drive diesels? Something like a KC 3100 with enclosed wheelhouse and flybridge powered by 2 x 315hp Yanmars driving shafts.

I have a mate with a KC2400 powered by 2 x 140hp Zukes and I am also a little familiar with the KC3000 powered by 2 x 250hp Zukes, but what about the next size up?

There is one here in the US I am thinking of going to have a look at, but don't know a lot about these bigger cats and I can't ask here as they absolutely hate Kevlacats, given the bad US experience with the builder over here.

All I can offer is that you seem to be aware of the need to purchase an Australian built KC, as oppossed to the apparently shoddy US ones.
Good luck.

Hi Scott

The 10.36mtr KC 3400 is an awesome boat [especially with diesels/shafts].Seameadia.com.au have done a review on one,worth reading.I am sure that other ausfish members will have comment and advice to offer.

Kind Regards

Yes I have read the review and it was very interesting. The review boat had 2 x 230hp 4 cylinder Yanmars and the boat I am interested in has 2 x 315hp 6 cylinder Yanmars so wondering what the difference would be.

Anyway seems like there isn't much feedback here.

Anybody else?
