build them
Hey Murphy
Hayward Marine in Gordon's Bay does a good version of the butt cat, they get the hulls from John Butt and add their own cabin and finishes.
I am waiting on my boat which has an eta of 2nd week in Sept and is the 28ft which is 200mm wider and a bit longer than the std 28ft. The hull and deck have been specially made to be wider, while the walk around cabin remains the same.
This is to give you more space between the cabin and the gunnels when fighting a fish etc.
You can contact Brian Hayward on 021-845 4363

Travers

Hiya
Just some friendly advice. I had my previous butt-cat built by the above-mentioned agency and was EXTREMELY diss-appointed with the service and quality of workmanship. I'm not one who cares much for fancy finishes, but the end result i received was PATHETIC.
ALL of the Butt-cat owners, whom i've spoken to, who had their vessels built by the above-mentioned agency, have also been EXTREMELY dis-satisfied with the service and quality they received.
I'll not bore you with the HORROR stories that i endured, but would just like to caution ther anglers. Speak to some butt-cat boat owners, who had their vessels finished by the above-mentioned agency and hear for yourself what the general consensus is!!
travers, i'd seriously suggest that you take the boat out for some trial runs and get EVERTHING and i MEAN everything completed to your liking/spec's BEFORE making your final payment.
