Howard 26 Cat

What’s the consensus on this hull? I’ve read they aren’t great in the chop but are they better than a Vector or 210?

From what I remember they are on the heavy side.

My good friend has the 26 with twin 300x. He doesn't have any complaints about the chop, but said it takes a while to plane even after messing with props (and he has a hydro jack plate)

That new Tremor would suit your needs better.

They are layed up a bit heavy but I think they are great in any water.
