Need input concerning 18' Nautico by Seagull

• Thread starter louisp
• Start date Jun 6, 2004
• Jun 6, 2004

I'm looking at possibly buying a 2001 18' Nautico by Seagull with a 2001 Mercury 90hp 2-stroke in overall good shape. I've been in bigger cats, loved the ride and thought this would be an affordable, smaller alternative. My test ride this weedend didn't provide expected results. The 90 Merc exceeds the maximum rating of 75HP but is relatively light (303 lbs.) yet only pushed the boat to 28 mph GPS. It felt sluggish out of the hole and labored in turns, cavitated on re-acceleration, and threw up a lot of water vertically between the transom and motor. My thoughts are the motor could be set-up improperly or if there is foam in the pontoons they could be saturated (of course unless they were evenly saturated the boat would list, which it didn't). Or, is this how they ride and the reason Seagull is out of business? The Merc has a 4 blade prop of unknown pitch and turned 5000 rpm WOT. It's hard to determine if motor height is correct since there is no bottom of the boat there, only a protrusion that looks to protect the foot from impacts. I've seen several for sale and they had Suzuki 70hp 4-strokes, which is only slightly heavier but would seem under-powered from my weekend experience. And if I got the boat I would want to re-power with a 4-stroke. Any experience or comments greatly appreciated, thanks- LP.

2000 Seagull/Nautico Power Catamaran - $18,250

• Add to quote

Looking for a different rig this year. I love this boat and hate to get rid of her. This is a great Fishing and recreational boat. Great for lakes/rivers/bay or Ocean. (I have had her out in all of these.) Go fishing and water skiing on the same trip! Take it from the Outer banks, to the Chesapeake, to the Potomac to Lake Anna. Lots of fun to drive, the Cat hull lets it cut thru the chop but also makes it very stable, similar to a skiff. (Best of both worlds!) 2000 model Seagull Nautico Explorar 20' (with a cuddy cabin) 2 x 75HP Mercury 2 strokes 11" draft, 8'6" beam 2 x 38 gallon fuel tanks. Cuddy has cushions with Queen sized bed inside. Starboard engine rebuilt in late 2013. Carbs were both rebuilt and water pumps replaced on each motor at that time too. Rebuilt motor has maybe 60 hours on it. Not sure how many hours are on the Port motor. Both motors are 1999 and are running great. I am the 3rd owner of this boat. Have owned it since 2010. The steering cable and console were replaced in 2014. Comes with a bimini and full set of curtains, also a porta-potty installed in the cuddy. 25 gallon live-well. Under gunnel rod storage and additional rod storage inside the cuddy. (2) Blue Optima marine batteries and a spare (other marine battery). 11 rod holders. Electronics: Lowrance HDS8 with sidescan (Gen 1). Also includes a spare 4" B/W Lowrance GPS/Fishfinder. Compass and a VHS radio installed on the dash. Leaner/post/bench seat with under seat storage. Comes with a 2008 loadrite trailer which has a new VA inspection as of Feb 2015. (trailer had new rotors and calipers installed on all 4 wheels in 2013). Please PM if interested. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/boa/4959169656.html

Seagull nautico catamaran

• Add to quote

I am looking at a used 20 foot Seagull nautico. Its a catamran hull and looks pretty nice. Any feedback on these boats? My only concern is that it only has twin 30 gallon tanks which seems like it would have a short range. It has twin 70 horse Evinrude 4 strokes. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks  

I saw on another board that in year models 2000 and earlier, many have had deck rot problems, so look for that. I would think you will get 2-2.5 mpg so your max range would be 135 miles w/10% spare, but more likely 100 mile range. I'm guessing a 35 mph top speed - what have you been told?  

I honestly haven't got much info at all. The boat is used and at a dealership. I think the company that made the boat is out of business. It seems like it would deliver a very smooth ride though, at least from what I've read of that style hull. Thanks

I had one of these for a few years, with a Suzuki 90HP 4stroke. It was a great river/bay boat that was very cheap to run. It was stable in the ocean, but we got wet. Anyone seeking a stable platform will find it in this model, but I do not know this particular boat. Best to you on the sale/purchase............Papa  

Bump..........  

Bump for a great boat......

Test: Battle Of The Power Cats

(Published in the May 1998 issue)

We hit the first wave at about 25 mph. The bow rose so high that only a cloud-scattered expanse of blue Florida sky was visible beyond the rail. As we hung in the air, I told myself: You should have backed off the throttle while you had the chance--moron.

Instead, I clutched the wheel, flexed my knees and waited for the inevitable sternum-crunching reunion with the water. But the impact that followed opened my eyes more than it loosened my fillings.

There was a mild shudder, a gentle compression into the water, and before I knew it we were heading right up the face of the next wave. Again I braced myself, and again the impact never came.

That day three years ago was the first time I rode a power catamaran, and I've been a fan ever since.

These multihulled boats have a number of long-known and seldom-disputed design advantages over monohulls. First, catamarans ride softer because they don't have a large, round bottom that slams against the waves. Second, a catamaran's twin hulls focus the buoyancy around the outside of the boat, rather than in the middle, creating greater initial stability. Third, the two narrow hulls generate about one-third as much wetted surface, or drag, making the boat more efficient. And last, the hulls place the engines farther apart, increasing maneuverability.

So why, you might ask, don't we see more catamarans on the water? After that ride, I asked the same question, and received a simple answer: They don't look right. When people buy a boat they want it to look like their image of a boat--a catamaran doesn't.

Despite this consistent consumer resistance, manufacturers have continued hawking catamarans in U.S. marinas. That cat I tested in 1995, the 25 SeaCat, was just one more entry into a boat class of proven sales failures.

But the SeaCat didn't fail. Some say it was the styling--from the side, at least, it looked almost like a typical boat. Some credit the marketing: With its fuel efficiency and soft ride the cat attracted fishermen with small wallets and grand offshore dreams. And some think the catamaran was just a boat design whose time had come.

Whatever the reason, the SeaCat flourished, and today there are at least 15 companies selling power catamarans in this country. These cats range from 14 to 74 ft., although the majority fall between 19 and 33 ft. Last year, Grady White joined the fray with its 26-ft. Tiger Cat, giving the category the legitimacy of a well-respected domestic builder.

In order to get a handle on this fast-growing group of water wagons--to catch the tiger by the tail, so to speak--we gathered four new catamarans and put them through their paces. Although all four are nominally set up for fishing, we found very different boats that together are ready for almost anything.

Comet Pro-Star 20

This catamaran version of the increasingly popular flats boat is probably the most purpose-specific boat in our test. Like any good flats boat, it planes almost instantly and runs in shallow water. Relatively wide, flat hulls give the Comet lift, as proven by her 14-in. standing draft and ability to plane in 1.9 seconds. Meanwhile, a hydraulic jackplate lowers and raises the engine, allowing the boat to run in only 6 in. of water at full throttle.

Along with handsome blue hulls and nonskid decks, the Comet offers topnotch fit and finish. There's plenty of stowage space and recirculating live and release wells. The helm console has enough room for dash-mounted add-on electronics and is easy to reach from the comfortable bench seat.

On the water, the Comet was steady in a chop that would have slowed other flats boats. Trimming it out lifted the bow, making it feel like a high-powered bass boat without the threat of chine walking. Through turns it stayed flat and in control.

Glacier Bay Canyon Runner 26

Glacier Bay has been building power cats for 10 years, so it probably wouldn't agree that the 25 SeaCat popularized the category. Nevertheless, Glacier Bay hasn't exerted the same influence.

Not that its boats aren't worthy. The Canyon Runner was the only displacement-hulled catamaran in our test. And although this hull type sacrifices some speed at the top end, it makes up for it in ride. The boat ran through 3-ft. waves and over 5-footers with an almost eerie stability. What's more, it retained this smoothness in all directions to the sea. In high-speed, hard-over turns, the Glacier Bay stayed in complete control, although it did heel out a bit.

While the boat is set up for fishing, with fish boxes, live wells and rod holders, it makes a good all-around craft. It features quality components and is well-constructed. Still, its best attribute clearly is the ride. As one dealer aptly sums it up: "You just can't get in trouble in this boat."

True to its catamaran heritage, the Seagull can make a bumpy bay seem paved and can sit beam-to in a heavy chop without making you want to feed the fish. But unlike many other cats, the Seagull has a looser and freer side too.

Since it sits so close to the water, the boat feels even faster than it is. Of course, those low sides also mean it'll take some spray in a cross-breeze, but somehow that's part of this boat's charm. There's a little more action in its ride, making it feel as if it's frolicking across the wave tops, and it turns so quickly that anyone not holding on before a sharp turn will probably be swimming afterward.

The high-gloss gelcoat looks great, but the construction and finish are more workmanlike than flashy. Set up as a general-purpose boat, the Seagull skis, fishes, dives and provides some welcome levity.

World Cat 266 SC

SeaCat's owner retired last year, and the new owners renamed the company World Class Catamaran and redesigned the entire line.

With its cuddy cabin and walkaround helm, the company's new World Cat 266 SC is the queen of that line. And the best compliment we can pay it is to say that it seems like a larger boat, both in terms of its amenities and ride.

At speed, it's very sensitive to trim, especially if the engines are not trimmed evenly. But once it's properly adjusted, this boat is fast and makes the chop go away. It backs particularly well (generally, all cats do because there's less resistance) and stays almost perfectly flat during hard-over turns.

Inside, there are double bunks, a freshwater sink and portable head, all finished to respectable standards. These conveniences make the 266 SC great for a weekend getaway or an overnight stay at a kingfish tournament.

Overall, none of these boats disappointed our test team, but don't take my word for it. You've got to experience a power catamaran to believe it. Take one for a test ride, and then you'll understand why, at last, the power cat is here to stay.
