Hobie Float Cat 75 Float Tubes Pontoon Boats Review

Hobie Float Cat 75


Description
A Float Cat 75 is ideal for big lakes or slow moving water. A Float Cat 75 can support up to 350 pounds of fish, fishing tackle and fisherman. The pontoon on the Float Cat 75 is designed for quick-turn maneuverability. The V-shape design creates greater displacement to balance an increase in weight or pressure.

Summary:
Best fishing machine made! Durable, stable, light weight, and a breeze to handle both in, and out of the water. I own two (2) Hobie Float Cat 75's. An exceptionally effective and economical fishing machine. It has allowed me to access the less accessible, under-fished waters.

Customer Service:
No real maintenance required, unless I abuse it in some way.

Similar Products Used:
Inflatables...no comparison because of durability and weight issues.

Summary:
I've had my Hobie Float Cat since 2000. I use it about 180 days per year in all types of water. It is a solid platform. Add a transome to the footrest, 30# Minkota, and you're off to the races. The biggest problems is the lookie-loo's with their big boats..their wakes suck. If you can get your hands on one, buy it.

Customer Service:
I got everything Hobie made for this boat and no problems with service or preformance.

Reviewed by: Kevin Goyer ,  Car Camper , from Rapid City SD

Summary:
The Hobie Float Cat 75 is a well-designed and durable unit and I use it often; the anchor kit works well with a 10-lb mushroom. I put a 30lb MinnKota motor on it; however, the weight of the motor, battery, and anchor causes the front of the Cat to ride a little high - don't use the top two speeds on this motor. I'm on the edge with this setup, but it works great - also fits in my 4by6 trailer or on my Yakima bike rack. I'm not a car camper, but had to select something.
