I must admit, I don't understand all that stainless steel at the back between the motors? What is it for?

This is the Seacat.

Matter of opinion I guess. I use my stainless everytime I have to bend over to flush my motors on the mooring. If you have to reach to screw the hose connection on it is great to hold onto. Generally Seacat's arent kept on moorings. I have also climbed onto a Seacat, the ladder seems flimsy.

I just realised, Butt Cat has no platform to attach a ladder to.
That said, That platform come in handy when you need to pull something out of a prop.

I like the fact that you can easily fight/walk a fish around the motors without stretching if a fish suddenly dives at the side/back... especially with short rods (Tuna etc). I must say that I am very impressed with the stainless quality.... Kamassi have done themselves proud. will post some more pics in a bit.

Good to know... Because there had been some complaints from FishExcutn about the finishes of their stainless work, particularly with the cleats.

Thanks for that guys.. The stainless is very impressive on my boat from what I can see so far... They have actually gone thicker grade in some instances (Bowrail & Bottom tower rails) so I am super impressed overall. I am having pop up imported cleats so no worries in that regard. I did notice the point raised on the rod holder sizes but have attended to this on my boat. I gather that the other boat was also difficult one to sort out due to a steel railing fitted to the gunnel (think it was Justin's) which I wont have. Tiaan and Justin were kind enough to point out some of their experiences with me regarding their builds which have helped me a lot and I owe them both a fishing trip whenever they are in Durban for sharing... Future chaps building boats will learn from this and other builds and that is how boats evolve I guess.
I like that the "Railing" extends all the way accross where the gunnels are not that high (From the step)around to the front. Same with the steelwork around the back that folds down as a ladder between the motors... All very safe and important considering I like taking kids out for joyrides and "Playfishing" around the Durban baitspots.
