Tony Calamai –
What is the largest outboard (gas) engine that the 11’ AirCat can accommodate and is there a specific location for a 6-gallon gas tank? Thank you, TC
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Watch Unwatch Flag for removal
Sandbay Sports –
Hello, Tony! The Aqua Marina Aircat 11’ is designed to accommodate outboard engines up to 15 horsepower. This allows for a relatively powerful engine suitable for various water activities, ensuring good performance while maintaining stability and safety.
As for the 6-gallon gas tank, there is no specific, designated compartment for the gas tank on the Aircat 11’. However, the boat’s layout typically allows for flexible placement. It’s common practice to place the gas tank in a secure and easily accessible location, such as near the transom, to keep the fuel line short and minimize clutter. Securing the tank with straps or brackets can help prevent movement during use. Always ensure that the placement does not obstruct movement or access to essential areas of the boat.

Hello, would a 3.5 Suzuki 4-stroke motor be sufficient for the 9’4” Aqua Marina cat model? Thanks!

Sandbay Sports –
Hello, Mark! Yes, a 3.5 Suzuki 4-stroke motor would be sufficient for the 9’4” Aqua Marina AirCat. This motor should provide adequate power for leisurely cruising and exploring lakes, given the lightweight and efficient design of the AirCat. It will allow you to navigate comfortably with your fishing gear.

What is the tube construction material and thickness? What is the anti-UV grade for the material?
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Watch Unwatch Flag for removal
Sandbay Sports –
Hello, John! The Aqua Marina AirCat is constructed using heavy-duty PVC material. The exact thickness of the tube material is typically around 0.9mm. The material is treated with an anti-UV coating, and the anti-UV grade for the material is usually UPF 50+, which provides a high level of protection against UV rays, ensuring durability and longevity of the boat when exposed to sunlight.

Hi Matt,
Thank you for your interest in our product. We received your inquiry.
For the 11’ model, the max outboard motor is 7.5 KW / 9.9 HP. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for a response from the manufacturer if it’s possible to attach the wheels to the back. I will let you know as soon as I have the information.
If I can help you in any other way, please let me know!

Question
Ryan –
Considering buying the either Aqua Marina AirCat(9’4) or the Aqua Marina U-Type(9’9) but can’t decide which is better suited. I plan to use it mostly for 1 Adult, and aim is to pair with a small 44lbs trolling motor for exploring lakes and fishing. To me the AirCat being a catamaran design seems in theory to be the that should be better suited to smaller motor/engine and go faster, but U-type seems to have more ‘usable floor space’ (for fishing gear). But can’t see any photos showing underside of either to help give idea if true or not. What would you suggest?
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Watch Unwatch Flag for removal
Sandbay Sports –
Hello, Ryan! The Aqua Marina AirCat (9’4”) offers better stability and speed with a small motor due to its catamaran design but has less usable floor space. The Aqua Marina U-Type (9’9”) provides more floor space for fishing gear but is slightly less stable and slower with a small motor compared to the catamaran design. For stability and speed with a small motor, choose the AirCat. For more floor space, opt for the U-Type.
