290CC Prop Test

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! It was nice to get a few days off after a busy year in PDE!

The 290CC performance data has been officially released on our website in the prop test section for the 290CC. The test was performed with twin Yamaha 250's swinging 3 bladed 15 1/4" x 19" Yamaha props. Cruise was 32.4 mph @ 4000 rpm (1.9 mpg), and WOT was 49.7 mph @ 5900 rpm (1.1 mpg)... we'll release Suzuki 250 tests shortly (on boat #5 for the New Orleans Boat Show in Jan).

We're doing a photoshoot today out of Beaufort, NC... it should be a good day for testing and running the 290CC since it's barely above freezing here in NC! Hopefully the integrated windshield and hardtop will keep the drivers warm. Should have some good photos to share here and in the 290CC Photo Album.

The 290CC Center Console successfully debuted at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show last week and was a big hit with dealers and customers. I've attached a photo of the completed console from the boat show, and we've uploaded photos of the major features of the boat on the World Cat website.

Prototype #2 is finalizing production, and our production staff is getting all systems and processes in place to be at full production by prototype #4. The 290CC is scheduled to be at most major boat shows in the coming months, so find the boat show nearest to you and hopefully we'll see you there!

As always, you can request a factory tour and see the production of this boat and all our boats at our plant in Tarboro, NC. We continue to work through these difficult times and are confident that World Cat and the US will come out on top!

Happy Veterans Day!
