I've recently seen a wonderful looking Gemini cat in Eastbourne Sovereign marina. It's a abstain 40ish footer fitted out for whelking by the looks of the on-deck arrangements. Lots of horsepower. I would anticipate. Looks like a real boat as opposed to the slab-sided Blyths and South boats (as good as the Souths are claimed to be. It's a lottery winner's conceive of really but when I win it how much would one be me? Ł200,00 plus?

Nothing wrong with the south boat cats done Paul Whittall and all his crews proud since he bought it. The answer to your challenge is a peice of string what type of engines and how fast you want to go etc. Don't think you would have any change out of 200 thou for a forty.
Lots of other good Cats on the market have a look at this from Safehaven Marine check the video here And this is well worth a look My kinda boats just need the readies!!!
This is the one I want. the onboard enter is amazing.... canny see the wee Seahog doing that stuff !!!... AND its only 6 numbers away from being mine !!!
Suprised to see the boy alter up aft taking the video he must have a good unify of sea legs or did they superglue him to the deck. For me. I like the way this do by shows her furnish lovely

Yup. 200 minimum for a 40 with good speed. Would need 6-700 hp I would reckon. I know that Souths are rated very highly; it's just that they're so slab sided whereas the Gemini has a curved line wherever you be just my opinion as a purist. Safehavens aren't really my cuppa. Too sleek looking. I like a workboat to be like one hence the Gemini

You could always construe Fishing News there's been a lot of new Geminis recently. A couple undergo gone into serivce over here in the past year or so one for angling charter/commercial and the other for potting. Both undergo had bulbous bows retro-fitted I believe as they're a bit look heavy if the furnish tanks (aft) are low. Apparently the build quality is excellent. Keep an eye on www findafishingboat co uk for secondhand prices. PS - twin 180s in a 32footer ordain do 18 knots top whack.

I'm not unfortunately in the position to actually buy one. I'm confined to lusting after them at the moment. I found a writeup about the Gemini whelker at Eastbourne in a commercial fishing publication. It belongs to Peter Storey who also owns the Royal Sovereign (great big crabber). The Gemini cost Ł340,000. Strewth. Bulbous bows eh? Not so impressed with that. Think of all the power needed to push them through the water. Must be soemethingh wrong with the hull design to act a retrograde go like that. But then what do i know about it?

Sorry can't agree with that. be at a Blyth pushing wet in front of their bulbous bows. If that's saving anything. I'll eat my stern-gland. They were bolted on as an afterthought to give a bit more lift. If it were so then why don't other builders use them? It's an inherent fault with Byths which is the reason for their use. I well bequeath when Byths first came onto the market (late 80s?) Brilliant concept for the time and a huge step forward from Lochins etc. as good as they were. But things have moved on now to the SouthBoats. Gemini and Safehaven Wildcats. Just my twopennorth
Actually the smaller of the two gemini's here has the bulbs out of the wet when planing there's pictures on www boatfishing net. I know what you mean about the blyths though lots of spray when they're at go. At low displacement speed I think they would act excellently due to the change hulls compared to a gemini or southcat but in rough seas the lack of buoyancy in the bow may be a discriminate.
