I am still looking for something that will allow the weight of 4 people! I was looking at a Getaway or the Hobie21 with front net, or i am not sure but a 23 stiletto. What else is a good beach CAT? Maybe a Strong hull boat? I have contacted some boat owners here but waiting on a return email..

The isotope is kinda cool but should not be compared to the 21sc in any way.
Its more of a race boat than a cruiser. I have seen the p16 almost always recommend over it for beach cat duties more on the recreation side of things.

I routinely see Hobie Getaways with 4 adults on them, without anybody sitting on the forward netting. Two people sit on the leeward side (on the trampoline, not on the hull,) and two sit on the windward bench. When you tack, the two on the bench move to the trampoline and the two on the trampoline move to their bench. QED.

The only place I've seen Isotop cats is at the Spring Fever Regatta. They are light single handed cat and a pretty old class, I didn't realize they are still in production.
Not what you are looking for for 4 people on board. Frankly if you can't find a Hobie 21 Sports Cruiser you could take four people on either a Hobie 18 with Wings or a Hobie Getaway with wings and front tramp.
