Superior Components & Materials

Beyond a superior design, what makes a CATCH exceptional is our selection of the highest-quality components and materials from the best manufacturers. Our customers expect the best—and we deliver!

Precision-Engineered Fiberglass Construction

All fiberglass components are computer-designed, CNC cut, and engineered for fit, finish, and durability. Each part is vacuum infused with a vinyl ester epoxy blend resin or vinyl ester resin. State-of-the-art materials and design support durability and passenger comfort. This combination of materials and design helps absorb energy and sound, which improves the experience for passengers.

Power & Fuel

Powerful & Efficient Mercury Engines

  • Mercury Verado V10 425 hp engine is standard
  • Digital throttle, digital shift, and digital steering are standard
  • The V10 425hp engine comes with a high capacity 150-amp alternator
  • The option for twin Mercury V6 225hp engines is available

High Grade Aluminum Fuel Tank

Thanks to the custom hull design's fuel efficiency, the standard 107-gallon fuel tank provides ample capacity. Each tank is constructed from 3/16" high-grade aluminum and coated with Targuard Coal Epoxy for enhanced durability. The tank is securely installed without the use of expanding foam, thereby minimizing the risk of moisture retention and potential corrosion.

The option for additional fuel is available.

Performance & Trim

Hydraulic Jack Plate for Shallow Water Performance

Because Catch 27 is designed to run shallow, it comes standard with a hydraulic jack plate pre-drilled for mounting Power-Pole shallow water anchors. Paddle-style switches on both steering wheels control the jack plate.

ZipWake Interceptor Blades

ZipWake Interceptor Blades, 600mm (23.6 in) wide, offer superior trim control compared to standard tabs, providing greater lift and reduced drag. Their dynamic system handles pitch, roll, trim, and turn angle automatically or manually for optimal comfort and efficiency.

Simply unscrew the machine screws and replace your hinge. No struggling to get to nuts on the backside.
