That is one beautiful ride.....u will not grow out of that boat, like I said, Steve and the guys over there are great also! Great buy!

No offense but:
I wouldn't believe the manufacturer on weight. I'm not saying that this one would lie just in general many times the manufacturer is significantly off from reality.

No updated #'s yet. I've been out of town working and then on vacation till now.
Should be getting another set of props to try on Saturday. Mine is the first 27 Gen II with the new merc 150's. Rick and Steve @ Ameracat are working on getting them dialed in.

We can't wait to get her out fishing, and as soon as we do I'll post the updates.
All we need now is a weekend with good weather and seas.

I never got it to a scale yet but I was thinking about it.
My best guess would be.
3200 when pulled from mold (from scott @ Ameracat)
A guess of about 4000 after t-top, center console and rigging.
1000 for motors. 1000 for 150 gallons gas and that takes us to 6000.
Ready to fish should be @ 6500.
Trailer I think is around 1300 wich gives us 7800#"s to drag behind truck.
All numbers rounded off.
I know someone is going to tell me I'm way off, but this is a guess to answer the question.

Thanks for both answers. Was just roughly curious about the weight.

Look forward to hearing performance numbers when you get a chance to get the boat out.

my 22 seacat weights 3200 dry, no motors, no trailer.

I posted some videos of the new 27' AMERACAT on Facebook but I can't figure out how to post them here. My personnel genll 27' with tanks below deck weighed 3,340 lb. On a certified scale. That's as close to an accurate weight as I can get.

Thanks Scott. Hope the videos are on your web site.

Just go to their Facebook page. Here's one. Rather eye-opening! :o

Here is a link to a good video on YouTube.

A litle bit nasty. ;cool;

Like the 360 :thumbsup:

Don't. Know if the bouncing was in purpose ???

Nice cat.

We were having way to much fun out there that day. I went out the x day in the 31 but had no one to video it. 31 ate that up.

Log into your youtube account, manage videos, and there is an option to "stabilize" your video. That will take a lot of the shakeyness out of it.

Pocket trim tabs are in order.

But if you have to put to much tab to hold the bow down, say good bye to your fuel.

If everyone is opposed to tabs, may need some wedges under the engines if it was trimmed down all the way. some cats need them, others dont.

Green boat had no gear and little fuel it was on its first sea trial. It was also his first time driving the boat, he is starting to get the hang of it. Here is another video.

The console is well forward giving everyone a lot of room in the rear for a smooth ride, but the owner is getting jacked up and down and has no other tools at his disposal to help except to slow down. Thats not why he paid extra for a cat and larger motors IMO.

This is a fast light hull with a lot of horsepower that will need tab from time to time in rough seas like any other hull. I personally want speed in rough seas and not be bounced around. A little bit a tab is more efficient that wedges on a motor, hence the suggestion.

You added forward weight with a taller gen 2 gunwhale, so tabs that are out of the way are a natural progression to crush the head sea ride as she stays nose high in a following sea, just lke she should.

Again just one guy's opinion, and you proved me wrong before.

Really nice looking boat, the Merc 150's look great too. What props are you running?

Ameracat customers dont pay extra to have a catamaran. Ice in the seven foot fish box and cooler in the bow will help hold nose a little better , not to mention when there is some gear in the bow like anchor and chain. Most of the new 27's have 150's on them but they leave right away and I haven't been able to run them much. I'm trying to get the helicopter set up for some new high quality videos. I wasn't aware that anyone has ever proven you wrong. LOL
