When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Excite Cat Excitecat 10.10 2008 and the Excite Cat Excitecat 810 2008 are catamaran designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

The Excite Cat Excitecat 10.10 2008 carries a rated maximum of 2 hp. Engine data for the Excite Cat Excitecat 810 2008 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Excite Cat Excitecat 10.10 2008 carries 212 gallons versus 115 gallons in the Excite Cat Excitecat 810 2008.
