Hi - looking for some help. We have 50’ Wide Body and want to replace the tender. It will be stowed behind the fly bridge hoisted with an electric crane. I have been looking at the Aspen Carbon Cats (T10s and T11s). I like the center console option, but want to make sure I can accommodate 4 adults easily. I already have a 25 hp Honda outboard engine so I could forgo the center console. Does anyone have experience with the Carbon Cats or have other suggestions. The Carbon Cats run about $13-15K without the engine so a bit pricy compared to inflatables. Would love to get thoughts and suggestions from others.

Thanks, Jim Polo

Mark Tilden may have mentioned we went to a YL 360 on Turnagain. They are fairly stout as a fiberglass rib goes. They come equipped with a 40 horse Yamaha which is lots of power. The hull design supports the power well and creates a fast and comfortable ride (30knts wot). The layout is good for four adults, and is stable getting in and out. Weighs 750#s. When the weather gets better here I’ll put it in the water and come by and you can check it out.

Dan - mark did mention that. Would love to see your. I noted online that they are priced in Euros. I’m guessing there must be a local dealer. I’ll investigate further.

Thanks, Jim

We dealt through Pacific Inflatables in Fife. They will have current prices. Yachtline 360 is a Zodiac.
