34x12’ catamaran (SlapShot) and 30x10’ Allied Boats Wildcat running together

Ran out of Westport, WA for halibut and ling cod on 24 Sept 2021. Light seas at ~4’ at 11 seconds. Both are commercial grade welded aluminum catamarans. SlapShot is 34’x12’ with twin Suzuki DF350s and Feral is 30’x10’ with twin Suzuki DF300s.

Wish I had the money to buy a boat like that

Nice, ACI been building Cats way longer than allied. We are wanting to start a build and will probably go with ACI or Brix. The Allied looks nice but they are new to Cats where ACI and Brix been at it a long time. Love to see some comparisons though. Love that 34x12 ACI.

The 34x12 is awesome. I helped the owners design her and it’s been a terrific model for ACI. Yamaha 425s would be much nicer on her stern than the DF350s.

Nobody wanted to sit in the bow?

We are in western Washington. It was 8 am and 59°F. Folks want in the cabin with the diesel heater or on a bean bag in the cockpit and out of the wind. :).

@@wdlfbio Yes I know, it was only a joke, I am also in western washington. I followed your build thread on BD after seeing slapshot in person on accident in westport. Both vessels are very cool.

@@nhlpat1 hahaha. That makes sense. SlapShot is an awesome boat. Learned a ton from helping design her. Not a boat one should decline an invite on! Feral and SlapShot are now moored across from each other :)

@@wdlfbio I'll be sure to take a look the next time I'm over that way
