[quote=windwardde]I haven't owned a P18, so just addressing the Supercat 17.
Very hard to pitchpole as the bows are very buoyant.
Yes, the mast is heavy, but if you are storing mast up, who cares. Grab a buddy and raise it and all done for the season. If trailering, could be more of an issue if you don't have it set up with a gin pole.
Not any harder to right than other 2 man posts, with the rig it has. It does take practise, but most do.
Fast boat and I always hear that it's a wet boat, but candidly, all of them are pretty wet, and where I sail, I can use the cooling water.
Boomless, boardless.
I haven't had any issues with parts, but I also haven't broken much. Aquarius still supports the 17 and they are great people.
I love the rudder mechanism and have had almost no issues with them on two different boats. Have a spare set, and never used them.
I love the Supercats and would advise to get one, but cannot compare to the Prindle as I don't have personal owner experience.[/quote]
