OVERVIEW
Offered at USD $159,000, this 2002 World Cat 226 SF has undergone a comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and electronics refit, capped by a March 2025 repower with twin Mercury SeaPro 150hp four-stroke outboards. This is a true turnkey offshore fishing catamaran with modern systems, strong redundancy, and excellent ride stability.

This vessel was not cosmetically updated—it received a full systems approach including new wiring, new pumps, a custom dash and switching layout, premium Garmin electronics, night-vision capability, and fishing-focused upgrades throughout.
