2025 was my first season with the Fast Cat 14, we did about 8 trips. Plenty of room for two people with dive gear, or 4 people for a sunset cruise. We always had questions at the dock and folks liked the way it was setup with all the Sea Eagle accessories.

The boat gets up on plane with two adults at half throttle using the Honda 9.9HP and handles the open LI sound nicely. The seats are comfortable, the transom area has tie downs for a cooler so it doesn't take up space on deck. The Bimini top a must in the summer sun and can easily be folded down if it gets windy. We found the best way of getting in and out of the water is to have someone sit on the bow with their legs in the water then you can just swim right onto the boat (takes a little practice). The newer model has a fold down swim ladder.

The cost of ownership is super low. The most gas I used being out all day and driving all around was 1.5 gallons. Winterizing and maintaining the outboard was under $100 in parts from Honda.
