Front Runner 43 Cat

Designed for Offshore Fishing

Based at St. Augustine in Florida, Front Runner Boatworks is well known in the United States for its center console Open boats, and though the range which extends from 33 to 47 feet is comprised mostly of monohulls, there are two powercats, the 37 Cat and of course the 43 Cat that we’re looking at here.

This model was presented as a world preview at FLIBS in Fort Lauderdale back in November, and then we got to discover it at MIBS in Miami. The 43 Cat has a chined hull and bulbous bows designed to guarantee smooth and comfortable performance at high speed even in big seas. The deck plan has been designed primarily for big game fishing, but the manufacturer offers multiple customization options, such as the HTX version featuring an enclosed helm station, wraparound cockpit seating and sleeping accommodation.

One last snippet of information about Front Runner: the shipyard has announced the launch of an imposing 55 Cat as early as this coming summer.
