Well, my Eastward 24 Catamaran is finally in the water and all electronics are a go! In this video, I show you all the features of the Eastward, do my best to show its rough water capabilities and also show some mpg loops.
This is all with approximately 210 gallons of fuel on the boat. The MPG numbers would improve as some of that gas gets burned off.

John: Congratulations on the new boat. All I can say is that I wish I were several years younger than I am now at 72 and I would be placing an order. Just amazing!

@N2theBlue1 Месяц назад

Magic Carpet is how I described my first ride on a Freeman 33, too. Catamaran ride is just incredible

@richardjohnson33755 Месяц назад

Boat is amazing. Those numbers are amazing. That ride looks amazing. The cat age is here

As a CAT owner myself, I can relate to how you feel about your boat John. Great boat and best of luck with it going forward. Now go catch some fish! 👍👍🐟🐟

Congratulation once again on your new boat. I'm here for the trolling motor. Mine is not even a year old ( Minn Kota Terrova 72 inch I pilot link ) I love it but for the CONVENIENCE I would consider selling it and getting the quest. Is that crazy or what?. Let's see how your works out. Please do a review on it. Great Boat I'm sure you will enjoy it.

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

Ha! Like any new product, I’d let the guinea pigs (like me) run it for a bit before dropping all that coin. We used it this past Sunday to spot lock for porgies and it’s quite impressive

@charlesclark7225 Месяц назад

Really nice ! Wish you the best ! Like your channel…you keep it real! 2:01

@mikelove6417 Месяц назад

God that looks so nice. I love my boat but hate the ride. Making so jealous I'm going to end up making another bad finacel decision 😂

@timrudy4359 Месяц назад

Incredible boat and performance. Congrats again! Look forward to seeing it perform in the rough stuff too. If it were me, I would prefer yammis on the back, since there are very few Merc dealers/service centers in south Jersey. But can’t beat those performance numbers!!

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

I hear you on the Yamahas. Agree on their reliability. My marina is an authorized Merc dealer/service center so just makes sense for me

@NYGOLD Месяц назад

Very nice I've always wondered how cats ride. But lets be honest my 13' whaler was fine in the bay, the REAL test is a 3' plus following sea. Every person that ever left port between Coney Island and Montauk has spent time coming home in a (bad) following sea. If you ask any old salt it's the MOST important part of owning a boat in our area. The inlets get downright nasty during the outgoing tide, I've had some white knuckle rides on boats that didn't ride well in the following sea. Lets get this cat in the chop !!!! 🌊😺

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

The thing that scares me more than anything is a steep following sea. 100% agree with you. Will be interesting to see how she does coming around Montauk Point when the SW breeze picks up and we have an outgoing Block Island Sound tide

@seaox2109 Месяц назад

Beautiful boat! I love your American flag!

@jbbsmith2628 Месяц назад

Thats a fishing MACHINE, congrats. I like the way the set it up as well. Obviously you know what you do and how you want to do it. I do have a question on the Ttop frame. Are the vertical supports at the rear necessary for support or did you choose that for additional rod holders?

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

They are there for support and I added the holders

@milstuff4530 Месяц назад

Gee whiz, you and the boat should get a room. In all seriousness, I know what you mean about living on the east end , I live in Cutchogue but sadly I don't get out much any more since I am in a wheelchair. I use to do a ton of fishing before out here and loved it.🙂🙂

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

Ugh, sorry to hear about that. Yes, I can't imagine living anywhere else

@ashman0071 26 дней назад

So what's Her name ? Congrats - happy fishing JJ . Twin hulls channelling a cushion of air between them - magic carpet ride for sure .

@jiggingjerks 26 дней назад

Same name as last boat - Just Fishing. Thanks!!!

@thebleeb1681 Месяц назад

That's a wonderful boat, John! I wish you many favorable drifts and bent rods on her! Speaking of.....her......did you name her?

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

Thank you! Kept the old name - Just Fishing

@duffmeister6480 Месяц назад

No toe rails ? Can you reach the water ? ( that’s important to me ) thank God it’s not a hybrid cocktail boat ! You left out the registration tax, A serious fishing boat for 24’. And obviously safe for long Block Island and offshore Montauk trips. I’m drooling ! ❤️🇺🇸 Good Luck John. Thanks.

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

Thank you! No toe rail but the gunnels come out far enough that you don't need them. Can't reach the water unfortunately but that's the trade off for the "big boat" feel when you're out in the rips

@wattsup4800 Месяц назад

32mph at 2.13 is solid

@PeterRanieriII Месяц назад

looks like a very nice boat man, congrats! have you tested the spot lock yet? will it drift faster or slower than your old one i wonder

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

Thanks Peter. Yes, took my brother in law and cousin porgy fishing and the spot lock is quiet. Much quieter than the Terrova. Drifts the same really except in the short spaced rips. Hold on then

@ATC235 Месяц назад

Wow best of luck. So can we ask how much before electronics.

@user-lb8lj3gm4y Месяц назад

John: That looks like an amazing boat Congrats. I would love to get one myself one day. Sorry in advance for all questions. Would a 1500 Ram 5.7 be adequate for pulling, also how is the draft on that boat, and last do the engines come all the way out the water when trimmed up.

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

How far are you towing? You're likely towing 10k between boat, trailer, gear, motors, fuel, etc. if it were me, unless it was short distance, a 2500 would be better. Draft is under 2 feet and yes, engines easily tilt all the way up and don't hit rod holders. I actually trim up about 90 percent at my dock to not squeeze the rigging onto the bracket and my props still clear the water

@user-lb8lj3gm4y Месяц назад

@@jiggingjerks Thanks for the info. I think you are spot on with towing just needed to here it from one who had the boat. Thanks again and enjoy the boat she is a beauty.

@tonynicoletti8161 Месяц назад

Sure looks like it rides like a dream, but how does it drift?

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

Not bad. There is some snap rolls in the striper rips but longer period swells are fine so far

@josephlassiter1412 Месяц назад

What is the total weight of the boat and trailer

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

Not sure because it didn’t go on a scale on the trip north but hauler guessed around 10k when I asked him

@jiggingjerks Месяц назад

Mercury 225s. Did I not say that in the video?

@Fj4LiFe23 6 дней назад

not as efficient compared to 24 monohulls as i thought it would be

@jiggingjerks 6 дней назад

Yeah, so it's a semi displacement hull not a planing hull which is why I think it's not more efficient but that's also why it rides so well
