Just to let you know the round dial with switches on it to the right of the throttles is the power steering assist .it can be turned off, turned to very easy for fast speeds and also medium setting for fishing with more control. Very useful option. I actually took this boat out today as it's my friends boat and I was pleasantly surprised how good it was.👍👍
Thanks! I love how when I'm not sure of something there is always somebody out there who can work it out for me. Cool boat for the money I think. I can see quite a few use cases for this Silvercat.
Interesting, Dan. You didn't mention fuel tankage so it's a little tough to know how the South Florida folks would view this as an island hopper (where petrol supplies can sometimes get dodgy on some of the islands). But there is a trend in favor of power cats, thats for sure. They can deal better with the wind driven coastal slop, I'm told, and they simply have more volume for 'stuff' (as your walk around demo'd). The smaller Florida Boat Shows seem to be little more than Center Console shows...so this fits.
G'day Jack, yes she's 300 Gallons I think i mentioned it in the test drive. I really need to get over to Florida so I can understand the lay of the land myself.
@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife Hope you do. And if you do, you will be unable to miss the Bahamas. Clearly, a requirement...and it's as close as 40 NM from Miami. Or in this beast you are reviewing, perhaps an hour.
Dan, I would assume, that the rear-facing seat is a fish box. I figure the starboard box is for a fish box also? I didn't see anything on the portside.
Создатели лодок соревнуются между собой в идиотизме моделей. Зачем эта лодка? Для какого применения? Чем она лучше тех, что существуют уже 10 или 50 лет? Производитель посчитал себя таким же популярным, как бренды элитной одежды и рассчитывает, что бизнес будет процветать только от названия? Это - дерьмовая лодка!

The control to the right of the throttles is the Hydraulic steering power controls
Interesting - thanks!

Would be used for drinks/food most likely. In deck for fish. At least that’s how we roll. Forward coffin is ideal for fishbox
I personally like the boat but it's hard to make a good judgement and would like to have had somebody more knowledgeable in the boat
Space up on the bow is for the 50 cal machine guns .
Haha yes they did mention some issues with the Iranians next door. I believe that's why I wasn't allowed to fly my drone actually.

Gulf Craft have actually been building for 40yrs so they are not exactly new. But everyone entitled to their own opinion so all good.
