2018 Catamaran Coaches 38 Lightning

The 2018 Catamaran Coaches 38 Lightning is a 38-foot center console catamaran powered by a single Yammer 315 hp diesel engine with under 30 hours of operation. The boat features new engines, drives, and five-blade props, along with a triple-axle trailer included. Carbon fiber gunwales and foam-filled composite construction throughout provide durability without wood components.

The fishing-focused layout includes a large forward coffin box with seating, a spacious helm station with storage and integrated livewell, a 50-gallon bait well, and a substantial 700-gallon fish box. A trolling motor, outriggers, rod holders mounted in the T-top, and fresh and raw water washdown systems support active fishing operations. A dive platform with ladder and sun pad in the stern round out the working deck.

Electronics and comfort features include Simrad navigation, radar, and autopilot systems, a JL Audio marine sound system, windlass anchor with anchor plate, and multiple lighting options—underwater lights, under-gunwale lights, spreader lights, and a front light bar. The boat comes with a five-year engine warranty.
