MIAMI INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW
Statement debuts 430 tigress cat
Statement Marine made a splash at the Miami International Boat Show with the launch of its innovative 430 Tigress CAT, a quad-outboard-powered catamaran center console. Partnering with Rockford Fosgate, the Florida-based company showcased this cutting-edge vessel, aiming to set a new standard in the boating industry.
Owner Nick Buis describes the 430 Tigress CAT as more than just a boat—it’s a bold statement. Designed to revolutionize the center console market, the 12-foot-wide, 45-foot-6-inch-long vessel boasts advanced technology, generous space, and thrilling performance. Developed over nearly three years, this high-performance craft is already in demand, with the first unit sold and two more in progress.
Industry expert Craig Barrie, a key figure in the boat’s development, considers the 430 Tigress CAT a game-changer. Equipped with four Mercury 500R engines, an optional 800-gallon fuel capacity, and a dry weight of 16,900 pounds, it delivers speed, comfort, and endurance for extended trips. The spacious cabin offers 6-foot headroom, a full-size head with shower, a sleeping area, and an optimized floor plan for relaxation.
One of the standout features is the state-of-the-art Rockford Fosgate sound system, incorporating 20 amplifiers and nearly 70 speakers—recognized as the most powerful marine audio system to date. Additional highlights include a hardtop with LED-integrated speakers, a SureShade system, and dual Garmin 22-inch displays for advanced navigation.
With custom European-inspired paint and an all-Alcantara interior, the 430 Tigress CAT combines performance with luxury, redefining the center console experience.
