1989 27' Hawaiian Powercat

**Powercat89** · 06-29-2011, 05:34 PM

I just bought a 1989 27' Hawaiian Powercat and love it!
will this boat handle well on the CA, Delta?
it seems to have thinner sponsons the offshore cats.
it has Twin Yamaha 200s
the guy i bought it from took it to Catalina and said it was no problem.
I would also appriciate any input on handling and situational performance.
There are more pics in my profile album
Thanks Chef Rob

Is it a true cat?? or does it have a center sponson? If it's a true cat, it should do very well in the rough. Center pod cats do well in chop, but the ride tends to suffer in anything above about 3ft.

Thanks, I got it for $8000 with a triple axle trailer!
I keep hearing controversy about the manufacture.
Im told its a Dick Schuster design.
Any info???

I've only had it on Bass Lake but it seems to handle better when you increase power going over wakes.
it's my first boat of this type.
