This 1999 World Cat 246 SF, uniquely and powerfully re-powered with twin Suzuki 150 horsepower 4-stroke outboards, is an extraordinary offshore fishing machine and versatile family platform. World Cat is renowned for its revolutionary catamaran hull design, delivering an incredibly stable and smooth ride, making this 24-foot (or 26-foot LOA) vessel an outstanding choice for serious anglers and boaters in the Lake Placid, Florida, area seeking unmatched comfort and capability in challenging coastal and offshore conditions.
Unparalleled Stability and Ride Comfort of a Catamaran
The defining feature of the World Cat 246 SF is its dual-hull, catamaran design. This innovative hull provides an exceptionally stable and virtually roll-free platform, even in rough seas or when drifting, making it incredibly comfortable for fishing or just relaxing. Unlike traditional monohulls, catamarans 'tunnel' through waves rather than pounding over them, resulting in an unbelievably smooth and dry ride that drastically reduces fatigue on long runs offshore. This design also offers more usable deck space for its length, enhancing comfort and functionality. The 24-foot nominal length (often closer to 26 feet overall) provides ample room for serious fishing and social activities.
Dominant and Modern Twin Suzuki150 4-Stroke Power
The most significant upgrade to this 1999 World Cat 246 SF is its re-power with twin Suzuki 150 horsepower 4-stroke outboards. This pairing delivers immense power, incredible efficiency, and cutting-edge reliability. Suzuki 4-strokes are highly regarded for their:
Exceptional Torque and Acceleration: Twin 150s provide blistering hole shot and top-end speed, allowing you to reach distant fishing grounds quickly and safely.
Outstanding Fuel Economy: Modern 4-stroke technology significantly reduces fuel consumption compared to older engines, making long offshore trips more economical.
Whisper-Quiet Operation: Enjoy a remarkably quiet ride, enhancing conversation and reducing fatigue, especially at cruising speeds.
Proven Reliability: Suzuki outboards are known for their robust engineering and long-term durability, providing peace of mind far from shore.
This twin-engine configuration also offers the added safety and redundancy crucial for offshore boating.
Angler-Ready and Family-Friendly Layout
The deck layout of the 1999 World Cat 246 SF is thoughtfully designed for both serious angling and recreational enjoyment. You can expect to find:
Expansive, Self-Bailing Cockpit: Offering enormous space for multiple anglers to fish comfortably, with excellent drainage.
Dual Integrated Livewells: Essential for keeping bait lively or storing the day's catch, often positioned for easy access.
Abundant Rod Holders: Numerous gunnel-mounted rod holders, and often rocket launchers on the T-top or arch, keep your rods organized and ready.
Generous Storage: Dedicated fish boxes (often insulated and macerated), tackle storage, and dry compartments for gear are integrated throughout the boat.
Center Console with Head Compartment: A well-designed console offering protection from the elements, with ample dash space for mounting modern electronics, and typically a private marine head for added convenience on long days.
Comfortable Seating: Often includes a leaning post at the helm, and versatile seating options in the bow and stern that can be configured for fishing or relaxing.
Robust T-Top (Common): Most 246 SF models are equipped with a T-top, providing welcome shade, mounting points for electronics, and additional rod storage.
