- Here’s a quick video walk-through of our new Allied Boats Wildcat 30’ aluminum catamaran. I still have a few things to tweak/add, but folks were anxious for an update :). I welcome comments and suggestions for ways to make this even better. Ran her on Lake Washington last week. 2 adults, some gear, and 250 gallons of fuel. We hit 6,300 rpm at 47-48 mph. Cruised at 32-33 mph burning 1.38 mpg. Dry weight with Suzuki DF300s is 10,000 pounds.

For the life of me I can’t understand why I don’t see many aluminum boats like this in the North East! Beautiful and so much better than fiberglass.
Almost got the popcorn out reading the comments from the expert video weld inspector lol. Great looking boat. I think I’ve seen this boat offshore near the Astoria canyon
Thanks. We’ve definitely made the run down their chasing albacore more than once. My buddy owns her now and #2 is just about done. It’ll be at the Seattle Boat Show next month.
Sweet boat! I'd like to see it with the Suzuki duo prop configuration.
Thanks. Me too. My buddy bought her last month, so we will be starting the replacement build in 2022. Looking to fit a pair of Suzuki DF350s on the next one 👍. Should be ready in a January 2023.
LOVELY BOAT !!! LIVERPOOL UK
WOW awesome boat... would love to ride along sometime
Are you in the PacNW? We run out of Westport, WA
This is my dream boat. Please upload more videos ... also contact information for builder. Thanks for a great video💪
Thanks. I sold her to my buddy, but I do have a couple more videos of us fishing her. Plus, I have a couple videos of the build progress for her replacement. Pretty close to the same boat, but different seating and more power👍.
Great boat - I'm envious.
Say, question: being 10.5' wide, what extra stuff do you have to do to TRAILER it?
Thanks.
I buy the annual oversized load permit from WA Dept of Transportation. They offer monthly permits too, but I don’t want to be trailering and realize that I forgot to renew the permit. It’s about $220 a year. Flags go on the widest parts.
Excellent boat. Please adopt me.
I sold her to my buddy. Wait until you see the one that’s replacing this one. We made a few changes to the interior and outboards 👍👍
I would not wanna be out in a lightning storm with that
very nice where do I get one. let me guess on the west coast ?
Thanks for the compliment. Allied Boats is located in Bremerton, WA.
that is a nice-looking boat, could work well with the new diesel-fuel outboards - then you could even have a grill attachment on a detachable post at the cockpit gunwale ---- and have a hamburger or hot dog on board or even cook a bluefish or two ,,,,
When we are salmon fishing, we put the grill on the bait tank. When tuna fishing, we put the grill on the bow seat so we don’t block access to live bait. A buddy showed me these little 12v lunchbox cookers. They’re awesome for heating burritos, pizza, etc. 5-6 little breakfast burritos are usually ready to eat by the time we hit the fishing grounds.
@@wdlfbio I have never made a pizza on a boat but, I guess if you have a pizza oven you could. Quite a few hamburgers, hot dogs, blue fish - we don't get salmon around here, but we've heard of them. To be honest with you, I'm curious about the new diesel outboards, if they're any good. Diesel is nice because it's non-explosive, and the gas mileage is a lot better, and they tend to be very reliable - the inboards anyway.
@@mattlechner8442 check out Pacific Reign on instagram. They just had a 35x12 cat built with OXE 300s. They’re playing with Sharrow props too. Still tweaking, but expect to see near or above 2mpg at cruise (25-27 knots I think).
@@wdlfbio ok I will, thanks. I saw a magazine article that said the diesel outboards are pretty good, but they don't seem to be too popular, not yet anyway. I'm quite biased toward diesel, so maybe I better look into it. thanks ,,,,
What was the out of the door cost? What are plans for upgrading radar? Solar? Inverter? Lithium,? Ac heat?
Giving prices after I sold her to a good friend wouldn’t be proper of me. And, damn inflation alone has jacked prices up. It would be best to call Allied Boats for a current price range. We don’t need AC, just heat, which she has. Next one is getting the new Raymarine 3’ cyclone. Solar, AC, lithium batteries, generator, and even a SeaKeeper are things they can do. Just costs money 😂
If you were to capsize a boat like this and were able to recover it, how much work would be involved in making it seaworthy again, compared to building it from scratch ? 25% of the work, for example ??
Wowser. That’s something I wouldn’t want to need to find out. The hull would be fine, but I’d redo the power and electrical for sure.
@@wdlfbio As an RETIRED ELECTRICAN!! ELECTRICALLY SPEAKING!! just buy a new boat as electrical systems and salt water do not mix rewiring along would cost you 3/4th of the boat price then RADAR, SCREENS, RADIOS and CONTROLERS😒 just buy a new boat.
It probably would have been helpful if you had showed us a picture of what this boat actually looked liked.
Do you mean, other than the picture you see before you open the video? As I said, this was to show a walkthrough of the boat, as requested by some other viewers who already knew the boat.
What a dream .. who built it and roughly how much pls
Allied Boats built it in Bremerton, WA. I bought it before boat sales and material costs went crazy, so it’s not fair to say what it’d cost now
Is it possible to install it with a "Through Hull Transducer" like the "FLIR - RAYMARINE T70319 M RV-220 3D Bronze 20 DEG"? If so, which spot is it best to install it?
I had a SS175M thruhull on this build and the current build has a SS175M and a SS175HW. These are just aft of the fish boxes. Bronze and aluminum don’t mix well, so you’d want to go with a RV300 or 400 (stainless steel) instead of the 200. I’d tuck it towards the inside of either sponson, at least 6’ forward of the transom so it doesn’t get blown out when reversing into the current. There’s plenty of room where it wouldn’t be near the bunk when on the trailer.
@@wdlfbio Thanks for the tip! I never thought about the bronze affecting the Aluminum, thanks so much. Gonna add this info on my future purchase.
[Edit]: btw, can you please make a video on how the wiring is and looks like of that Transducer on your catamarn. I wanna get some extra tips on spacing the different things on the deck, just like the other UA-cam video's detailed looks on the stuff titled: "How to Install a Fish Finder Thru Hull Transducer (FULL In-Depth DIY)"
I keep trying to find an actual video like the "How to Install a Fish Finder Thru Hull Transducer (FULL In-Depth DIY)" being installed on a Catamarn, but no one has made one yet.
what cruise speed and top speed were you seeing with those engines?
Loaded for tuna (6 adults, 400-500# of ice, etc) cruising 28-29 mph is 1.1-1.2ish mpg.
Sorry, too speed with same load was 45 mph at 1 mpg.
What was the price tag on boat and do they have them in stock your they need to be pre order
These are all built to to order. Prices have really gone up from when I put my deposit down early last year. Depending on options like motors, electronics, joystick controls, etc, I suspect you could be $400-$450k pretty easy. Joystick is somewhere around 20k+ by itself.
@@wdlfbio thank you really appreciate 👍👍👊
any plans of incorporating hydro foil assist.?? all aluminum cats should have them for less hull in water, and needing less power and fuel burn.
I considered it, but there are too many unknowns regarding smaller cats. I don’t care to finance the R&D, only to find out they have a negative effect in following 5-8’ seas or that they impart quirks when running 23-25 knots in 4-5’ at 8 seconds, which are pretty common situations for us.
How do u slow down and troll with it???
For salmon, we often turn one motor off. Fish 30-60 minutes and then swap motors. 1 motor trolls as slow as we want.
Muito bom ,gostei muito. Mais quantos custa pra ter um desse ????????
Sorry I missed your question. There are too many variables to give a price. Which motors, trailer or not, joystick, how many MFDs, FLIR, etc? Oh, and most of all, inflation due to political ineptitude…😅. Best to call the builder (Allied Boats) for a current price range.
Oh to be 5'10 and walk in and buy close off the rack!
bad azz...obviously a charter boat???
Thanks! Not a charter. We mostly fish for albacore and like plenty of room to follow our fish when they run us around the boat. It would make a great 6-pack boat though.
@@wdlfbio FOR SURE even in Florida!
Having a toilet in the same small enclosure as your sleeping area is not my cup of tea.
The smell of roses has never really bothered us 😂
@@wdlfbio 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏🙏🤸
Im pretty sure no one wants tea from a toilet no matter where it is
Thank God we know that now
What’s the prize?
I sold her to my buddy. I don’t think he’d appreciate me sharing that info.
I've been welding for well over 30 years, aluminum predominantly for about 25. I look at the welds on the anodized on this boat and think to myself, 'They must have hired a new welder that laid a good bead on his/her test but had zero experience with anodized in the shop.' The welds look sub standard at best, unsafe at worst, imho. No way could I ever allow that kind of work to pass QC. This is the exact reason I'm building my boat. Hard to find people that know what they're doing, I get it but to charge the kind of money they charge? It's a ripoff.
Testing of weld quality occurs in person, not by looking at a video. Even a beautiful stack of dimes could be a crappy weld underneath. You’ve never been on this boat, nor is it anodized, as you claimed. I’ll take your opinion with a very large grain of salt. We have about 1.5 years and 200 hours of running off the Pacific NW coast under her so far and not a hint of any structural issues.
Best of luck with your build. I certainly don’t have anywhere near the skills or time to accomplish such a task.
@@wdlfbio I disagree, the dive ladder is anodized. I can tell from a video that the welds look inferior, I may be incorrect as to the strength but I wouldn't bet against me. I know that when I TIG weld aluminum, any aluminum alloy for that matter, my welds look so much better and I am by far not the best TIG welder out there. It looks like bubble gum was laid instead of a weld bead. It's not your fault my friend. Glad she's kicking butt for ya, stay safe out there and have fun!
@@JustMike2791 Agreed that the ladder is anodized, also very little tig on mounts and spots where it would benefit, another boat builder putting profit before quality. No fault to the boat owner though, mig welds are more often stronger than TIG welds due to the heat effected zone on tig weakening the weld, but strength isn't everything, looks matter. We build custom cats, 38' X 15' just launched, For the same price as this with twin 300's, 17 X 8 cabin, 2 X 200 gallon fuel tanks 2 x 100 gallon fish holds, 7'x 5' rear fishing platform, four 3" davit mounts so you can pick pots from any corner of the boat. Also a 6' dual action front gate. Run with 2 separate winch's and built to be hammered by side by sides, ATV's, and hauling lumber all while looking good. Ill post some videos on my channel so you can see the gate in action and the launch. With 17 pitch props we were able to get 40mph top speed, and at 26mph we achieved a fuel efficiency of 1.1 mpg, take it down to 22mph and you can get 1.5 mpg in a 38' boat, not bad in this economy.
I disagree. I've been a welding inspector for over 20 years and while I would agree with the welds in the sink which wouldn't have any effect on safety, the rest looked fine given the limitations of watching a video. I'd have to see drawings but the welds appear to be proper size, uniform and judging by start/stops, heat inputs were regulated using a proper welding procedure. It's hard to tell but there were no visible defects in any of the footage.
Only for the rich!
Not necessarily. Would be a great investment for a small charter captain taking 4-6 people fishing.
Жесть. Что за сварщики криворукие варили!?
The welder needs to be sacked especially around the rear steps.
furchtbares video, alles viel zu nahe
MOVE THAT HEAD!!! have you seen what beans do to sailors😵?? only thing I found not to like about this boat
Not an issue. My sh!# smells like roses. 🤣
@@wdlfbio 😅🤣 GREAT REPLY😅😂
still like the boat
