2026 World Cat 280 DUAL CONSOLE

The 2026 World Cat 280 Dual Console is a 27-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a single Mercury 450 hp outboard. The design features an aggressive bow styling with integrated LED docking lights, a frameless windshield that maximizes sightlines, and a hardtop with spreader lights. The boat reaches 45.8 mph at wide-open throttle and cruises at 29.7 mph on approximately 2 gallons per mile.

Accommodations include seating for six in the bow with folding armrests, a versatile double-wide cockpit seat that converts between front and rear-facing positions, and fold-down transom seating for two. The helm features a commanding console with a Garmin GPSMAP chartplotter and sonar combo, Garmin VHF radio, and Fusion marine stereo with JL Audio speakers. A fiberglass-lined head compartment includes a freshwater system, Corian counter, and 9-gallon holding tank.

The cockpit is built for fishing and water sports, with 360-degree bolsters, six rod holders distributed across gunwales and hardtop frame, and a livewell system. A commercial-grade dive ladder and walk-through transom provide easy water access. Storage is extensive—an insulated 180-quart port compartment, anchor locker with raw water washdown, starboard storage, and under-gunwale drink holders. The boat carries 220 gallons of fuel across two tanks and includes a retractable ski pylon, cockpit refrigerator, and ProMariner three-bank battery charger. Mercury DTS controls and Optimus hydraulic steering are standard.
