When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the World Cat 320CC Center Console 2011 and the World Cat 320EC Express Cabin 2010 are catamaran designs with composite 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — World Cat 320CC Center Console 2011 at 32,2 ft versus World Cat 320EC Express Cabin 2010 at 32,2 ft. At 92 lbs and 109 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 700 hp, the World Cat 320EC Express Cabin 2010 has a 100-hp advantage over the World Cat 320CC Center Console 2011's 600-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the World Cat 320EC Express Cabin 2010 carries 26 gallons versus 3 gallons in the World Cat 320CC Center Console 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 9 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
