That is the big brother of the T-Cat. Very few made...
The original T-Cats had some issues. Especially those beach launched. My mate's boat had a Cracked hull and transoms. Went in 3 times for fibreglass repairs.

Not sure about the V-Cat though - no experience.

I thought there was only a 21 or 22 footer. I never even knew they made a 28 footer.

I don`t think so as Dave White only builds Tom Cat and not V Cats.
