I put a 20 Hp tohatsu on mine, and it flies! And replaced the seats with some millennium seats, like riding a rocket sofa!
Tohatsu's are excellent outboards, we always recommend them when upgrading the motor on the FS 14.
Make a video 📹, would like to see it fly and see what accessories you may have.
Can you show us the new seats?
Would be great to see a review in calm conditions ( water and air ) and choppy windy conditions ( water and air )
I agree. We are about to do another video on it and this time show how it handles in chop and calmer back bays.
its been about a year since you got the boat, how is it? Any issues? Wear and tear? Etc..
How do you think this boat would handle on a river with rapids? Thanks!
Is this boat meant to be deflated and re-inflated for portability? Or is it more like inflate it one kind of thing?
How well would a electric trolling motor push this along?
I just ordered my FastCat and an EPropulsion 3.0 with lithium battery. When I get it I’ll post results. The boat dealer doesn’t seek engines but promised it would be an awesome pairing. Quiet, and do 8mph tops but you go way longer at 5mph. The EPropulsionn guy doesn’t sell boats but told me the FastCat 14 is a great choice for that electric motor. You can Google EPropulsion and see the batteries and charger you buy separately. My battery is their E60. It’s two grand alone. I’m into this boat and motor nine grand. grand.
@bornsalty when will you be available and do you have the FC14 and 12 that we can look at
Where would you mount a trolling motor? That's the only drawback I can see. Looks like you could possibly rig something up to the transom and have a side-mounted trolling motor. But not really many options for a bow-mount that I can see.
We are working with Sea Eagle to develop a system to mount a trolling motor. We will keep you posted.
Is that propeller hitting the boat?
How stable. Can you stand up and fish on it without issue?
Absolutely! This being a wide catamaran it is very easy to stand up and walk around on as well as cast and fish.
This has own trailer.? or buy separate Thanks
A trailer would need to be purchased separately if you are planning to keep the boat inflated. We recommend the Continental A1412 with bunk risers.
How would this boat operate a little offshore in waves
We have tested it in windy conditions in the Gulf and it performed great. Since it is a lighter boat you do need to make sure there is some weight in the boat to minimize bouncing. If you do that it works well in chop.
How does it function in choppy weather
Great question! It handles very well actually especially with some extra weight in the boat. We have gone out in some heavier chop in the Gulf and moving the coolers forward made for a much smoother ride as it held the bow and the wives tended to want to flow under the boat since it is a catamaran style boat.
I read a couple complaints that in a year the transom gets weak and flimsy. Have you heard this complaint or do you think they overloaded the transom with a heavy outboard. Mine is about 125 pound EPropulsion 3.0
can you do more videos on the fast cat 14? how does the bottom look like?
Absolutely! We are hoping to do another one in the next few weeks and hopefully get on some big fish this time. Each pontoon is protected with Keel guards.
Can I mount a flag pole?
The transom is made out of sealed marine plywood, you could mount a flag on the back if you like. Id just recommend sealing it properly. They do also make suction cup flag pole holders for the top of the outboard motor as well.
looks like the prop touches the back toon. Sketchy
Does the fasrcat14 need to be Florida registered?
If you add a gas or electric motor than you do need to register it. I got all my materials from Home Depot for the numbers. I cut 2 strips from a yard sale sign, stuck on numbers, and fully taped it over to make it waterproof then hang them over the side when I go out on the water.
What is the transom made of?
The transom is made from marine grade thick plywood coated in marine paint.
Is good for fishing?
Its amazing for fishing! It's a great casting platform with a ton of room for gear and places to add accessory mounts
We want to buy one for bully netting in the keys. Any options for nav lights?
what trailer would you recommend?
We recommend the Continental A1412. The bunks can be raised high enough so the boat sits over the wheel wells. Added guide posts also help centering the boat.
