Carolina Cat 23CC: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Carolina Cat 23CC is a versatile flatboat designed to excel in both shallow water environments and offshore conditions. It combines the attributes of multiple boat types, offering the shallow draft typical of flats boats, the fishability of a center console, the spaciousness of a deck boat, and the performance and range expected from offshore fishing vessels. This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of its design, features, and on-water performance.

Exterior Design and Helm Features

One of the notable design elements of the 23CC is its increased freeboard, measuring 27 inches at the stern and rising to 40 inches at the bow, enhancing safety and dryness during coastal operations. The helm is positioned on the port side of the console, featuring a stainless steel wheel connected to a single-ram hydraulic steering system. The helm panel accommodates a 12-inch display, and the compass is strategically placed within the operator's line of sight. Minimal clutter is maintained through the use of Yamaha multifunction displays. The acrylic windshield wraps around the helm area with minimal distortion at the corners. Additional operational conveniences include a storage shelf beneath the helm, a recessed footwell, and a well-padded leaning post with an integrated footrest and space underneath for a carry-on cooler. Forward of the helm, the U-shaped seating area conceals an anchor storage locker beneath its hatch, which includes a notch to allow the anchor rode to run through.

Power and Performance

The Carolina Cat 23CC measures 22 feet 7 inches in length overall, with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a shallow draft of only 11 inches. The test boat had an empty weight of 3,200 pounds, and with full fuel, two occupants, and test equipment, the total test weight was 5,024 pounds. Powered by twin 115-horsepower Yamaha four-stroke engines spaced 3 feet 6 inches apart, the boat delivers excellent torque for low-speed maneuvering and dock handling. During testing, the 23CC achieved a top speed of 44.7 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM, consuming 20.5 gallons of fuel per hour, which translates to a range of 188 miles. Its most efficient cruise speed was 19 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, with a fuel burn of just 5.55 gallons per hour, extending the range to 295 miles and allowing for over 17 hours of continuous operation at cruise.

Handling and Ride Quality

Upon acceleration, the 23CC exhibits a 10-degree bow rise, maintaining clear forward visibility. Once on plane, it settles into a 4-degree bow-high attitude. The catamaran hull design ensures a level attitude during shallow turns, while hard turns induce a 10-degree roll into the turn, with the boat returning to level when power is reduced. Testing in calm conditions demonstrated the boat’s fine hull entry effectively slicing through wakes with minimal spray and negligible impact on onboard comfort. The 23CC maintains a flat attitude when crossing wakes at an angle, showcasing its stability and smooth ride characteristics. These attributes suggest the boat is well suited to handle offshore conditions despite its shallow draft.

Conclusion

The Carolina Cat 23CC successfully integrates the best features of several boat types into a single platform. It offers the shallow draft necessary for skinny water access, the functionality of a center console for fishing, the spaciousness of a deck boat, and the performance and range to confidently venture offshore. Its thoughtful design, efficient powertrain, and stable handling make it a compelling choice for anglers and recreational boaters seeking versatility without compromise.
