WorldCat 235TE

An attractive pocket fishing boat

While the Miami International Boat Show is renowned for its extravagance of all genres, and the debauchery of power displayed by many of the boats on show, the reality of the overall American boating market is far less spectacular: hulls under 26 feet are flooding a market more oriented towards inland waterways and protected bays than the open sea.

In this context, the all-new WorldCat 235TE, developed from the 235CC Center Console, offers serious advantages in a compact hull - especially when compared to a monohull fishing boat of the same size. The 235TE boasts 35% more deck area, gets up on the plane three times faster for the same power and, above all, delivers fuel economy of around 40%. Range promises to be remarkable for this size of powercat, thanks to twin fuel tanks totaling 120 gallons (454 liters). During our visit to Miami, we were able to appreciate the practicality of all the fishing gear, as well as the remarkable quality of construction and finish.
