Catamaran

"Cat House", a 42' Custom Cat 40 power catamaran, was built by Kit-Cats and Custom Cats MI, Inc. in its Merritt Island, Florida facility. Kit-Cats is a relatively new boat builder which derived its experience from Aerocomp, Inc., Kit-Cats parent company. The complete line of Aerocomp Aircraft are made of fiberglass and carbon composite and this experience has been brought to their boat building.

"Cat House", launched August 2006, just completed The Great Loop including Lake Okeechobee, the New Jersey ICW and the downtown Chicago Canal in stable (no rolling) fashion. She is completely equipped and ready for extended cruising with all of the charts and guides.
