CraigCat Adventure Catamaran

At the boat shows, we’re always on the lookout for unique vessels. Invented by Erik and Robert Craig nearly 30 years ago and refined through all those years, these speedy little 30-horsepower, joystick-steered catamarans feature super-stable and tough roto-molded and foam-filled pontoons, rod holders, a bimini and plenty of other options. They, frankly, look like a blast to rip around on, or cast from in inches of shallow water. Have a closer look with Senior Editor Chris Dixon.
