Black Dog 680 HT Cat

This 2022 Black Dog Cat boat sits on a tanden axle aluminium trailer built in New Zealand and a great boat out on the water, Theres no doubt cats have an undisputed capacity to tackle rough water, plus great inherent stability for offshore fishing. However, the success of cats offshore has tended to type-cast them as a specialised craft with twin-engine power that is bit aloof from everyday boating.
Now a new cat from across the Tasman "Ditch" promises to change the game somewhat. The Kiwi 6.8HT Blackdog is a twin-hull Cat that runs happily on a single motor, which helps to reduce the starting price plus lower running costs.
You can buy the Blackdog Cat with twins but she performs so well with a single motor you probably won't bother. And keeping in mind the reliability of modern outboards that's good news especially if you're plan is to do as much inshore fishing as the outside variety.

As the name suggests, the Blackdog is one tough critter. The welding work is excellent and hard to sink her with no less than three water-tight air chambers in each hull.
However, the real kicker for potential buyers is the great stability and smooth ride offshore.
Blackdog features an advanced hull form that is inspired by racing cats. Each sponson (hull) has a curved outside face and a dead flat inside edge. This creates a central tunnel that is very straight and delivers a very effective, air-cushioned ride at speed.
