I have another thread discussing Trawlers vs Power Cats (PC), and I appreciate all the responses.
Just walked the FLL boat show, and looked at a bunch of boats.
One that was very interesting is the Aquila PC. There is no threads regarding them that I could find on TF.
How about build quality?
Was told they are largest North American PC seller? I find that hard to believe. Maybe most sold over 40'?
How are they different from the other big builders like FP, etc?
Anyway, I am trying to get an impression on them, I looked at this, which is pushing my size and price range, a FP 37 and 40, the (40 is so much bigger and better IMO than the 37), the new Bene Swift 41, and the Aspen, which I didn't like as much. I am not sure about the proa concept either. I spoke to Nord as well, very impressed with how they do things as a company, their new 41 seems very intriguing, but I am not looking to do anything offshore, and really wanted something that could go faster than 9 kts.
But I am very intrigued by the Aquila. It looks like they have tremendously loyal following! So does Aspen. If anyone here has one, or knows more of them, any input is greatly appreciated.
