FAQ's
Question: Why is this catamaran rated for only a 9.9HP outboard and not a more powerful motor?
Answer: Mini Cat boats are not built for high-speed racing. Unlike XCAT racing boats, they lack stabilizing features like sponsors or flat fiberglass bow wing. Instead, they are designed as budget-friendly options for smooth cruising with small gas or electric motors. Using a very powerful outboard can be risky in a strong forward winds, as too much speed against incoming wind gusts along with poor weight balance may cause the boat to flip backward. The curved front bow can catch wind at high speeds, increasing this risk. For safety, Mini Cats are limited to a 9.9HP motor. Always wear a life jacket and use the outboard’s kill switch when operating.
Question: How Saturn catamarans compare to True Kit Discovery or Bris catamarans?
Answer: Saturn catamarans, True Kit Discovery, and Bris catamarans all serve a similar market—portable, inflatable catamarans for fishing, recreation, and light-duty water activities. However, there are some key differences in their design, materials, and overall performance.
Saturn MC catamarans feature larger tube diameters and a significantly wider interior, providing enhanced stability and more cockpit space. This means you get more boat for your money. Below are the comparable dimensions based on information available from the respective manufacturers' websites:
BRIS
- WIDTH 3' inside / 6' overall
- TUBE DIA 17"
TRUE KIT
- WIDTH 2.25' inside / 5.4' overall
- TUBE DIA 19"
SATURN (Wider and larger tubes than True Kit or Bris Catamarans!)
- WIDTH 3.3 inside / 6.8' overall
- TUBE DIA 20"
