![]() ![]() ![]() Considering the angling effectiveness of Spot-Locking in place and creeping stealthily through the shallows we’re calling this one a no-brainer, while also noting that this boat drafts a mere 14 inches - far less than most 26-foot monohulls. Another option of interest is the trolling motor pre-wiring, which you’ll need if you want to enjoy the benefits of a bow-mounted trolling motor. A 12-inch Garmin GPSMAP comes stock and a second can be added as an option. The console has vertical racks for four per side. Six flush-mount rodholders come standard (four aft and two forward), the leaning post sports four rocket launchers, and the T-top has four more. Topsides, the 260CC-X is a fishing machine through and through. The hull is, of course, just one aspect of a boat. And you'll still learn a lot, by checking out our video boat review of the World Cat 260CC-X: That said, if you find smoothness of the ride the most critical aspect of a boat, you’d be missing out big-time if you didn’t go for a cat ride when the wind was pumping. Our sea trial on the 260CC-X came on a day that was unfortunately calm, and (argh!) we didn’t get to enjoy the boat’s best attribute. You need to go on a sea trial and feel how the boat behaves for yourself to get a full understanding of how it runs, and do your best to schedule it when the wind’s blowing. But - if we’ve said it once we’ve said it a hundred times - we don’t expect nor want anyone out there to take our word for it. And since World Cat uses a planing compression tunnel (air gets compressed in the tunnel as it narrows moving aft they call it “VectorFlo”) for all their boats, the hull also creates its own shock absorber of sorts when impacting waves. Say what you will about the cat-versus-monohull debate, one thing is for sure: when it comes to the smoothness of the ride in a nasty chop, a spoon-like hull just can’t match the knife-like twin-hull entries. The number-one stand-out feature of the boat is, of course, the fact that it rides atop two hulls rather than one. World Cat has been on a steady march updating their line to the CC-X models, and the latest to get the update is the all-new 260.
