The invincible 40 catamaran vs. the freeman 42 catamaran.

• September 9, 2020

The market for offshore catamarans is exploding. The new generation of catamarans are bigger, faster and a die-hard angler’s dream. Whether you need to travel 75 miles quickly to your favorite fishing spot or you want to head over to the Bahamas with everything you need, the new breed of offshore catamarans can do it all.

Invincible and Freeman are two of the most popular manufacturers of offshore catamarans in the 34 to 46-foot range. Freeman offers four models to choose from: a 34, a 37, a 42 and their new 47. Invincible offers four catamaran models: a 35, a 37, a 40 and their new 46 (as well as a lineup of monohulls). Today, we’ll look specifically at the Invincible 40 as compared to the Freeman 42.

When it comes to speed, range, fuel efficiency, fishability, spaciousness and amenities, both boats deliver. While two feet smaller than the Freeman 42, the Invincible 40 offers much of the same features.

The Invincible 40

• Draft: 22″
• Dry Weight with engines: 15,000 lbs
• Fresh water: 80
• Fuel capacity: 800 gallons
• Max power: 1800 hp

The Freeman 42LR

• LOA: 42’0″
• Beam: 11’9″
• Draft: 24″
• Dry Weight with engines: 14,500 lbs
• Ready to fish: 17,500 lbs
• Fresh water: 20 gallons

Fishability on both vessels is outstanding. The power and range of these boats are an obvious draw, but the myriad of features to enable a day pursuing your trophy catch is impressive to say the least. These boats offer numerous rod holders everywhere you might want them, huge livewells, fish boxes, tackle stations and storage for all your gear. With the beam extended all the way forward due to the catamaran hull design, the deck spaciousness of these center consoles is excellent. You can fish from every part of these boats with ease.

There are a few differences you’ll notice between the Freeman 42 and the Invincible 40 when spending time on them. First, the Invincible 40 comes with an optional dive door. The dive door is super useful for when the kids want to do a little swimming, but it can also come in handy when you’re pulling in a large fish. Perhaps not a deal breaker for many, but once you’ve become accustomed to using the dive door, it’s hard to go without it.

The bow on the Freeman 42 sits a bit higher than that of the Invincible 40. While catamarans, generally, sit a bit higher with higher freeboard than that of a monohull, the Freeman bow area sits even higher and has a step up in the bow which could be a tripping hazard in rough seas. The closer proximity to the water line on the Invincible can make various activities a bit easier, whether its walking around the deck or gaffing a fish.

The Invincible Brand

Additionally, the Invincible’s massive research & development efforts behind the hull construction make the boat really shine when leaning into high speed turns (similar to monohull handling). Long a criticism of the way catamaran’s ride, Invincible has spent considerable time and money innovating and improving the handling of its catamarans. These efforts continue to push the category to new heights.

While Freeman and Invincible are both indeed mainstays in the large cat category, Invincible’s approach to entering the market is quite unique. Backed by years of experience in the monohull market, Invincible took its time, spending years on research and development in order to enter the catamaran segment with a truly unique product.

Invincible partnered with legendary naval architecture firm Morrelli & Melvin, one of the world’s foremost authorities on multihull design. Armed with the resources of an established company and a partnership with premiere naval architects, Invincible started from scratch and spent years developing its entry into the market. The result was the impressive 40 Catamaran by Invincible. Following its successful launch, Invincible rolled out the 37 and the 35, and more recently, the 46.

Invincible’s patented, hybrid, semi-asymmetrical multihull design is the foundation of seakeeping abilities not seen in other catamarans. Simply put, no catamaran can execute the high-speed turn like an Invincible.

While backorder wait times may vary depending on the season and short-term increases in demand, generally speaking, Invincible is going to be building its boats slightly faster than Freeman due to its larger facility.

The company’s resources also mean they’re willing to accept near-endless variations of its product line. Buyers can customize just about every feature on the boat including things such as cup holders, rod holders, windshield type, seating layout and more. While many manufacturers like to limit options to simplify its build processes, Invincible just says, “Yes.” To about everything.

While the deep-V center consoles still reign supreme in Florida waters, more and more anglers are becoming interested in the catamaran option. With the latest outboard engines, these massive 40-foot catamarans are tough to match up with when it comes to deck spaciousness, speed, range and fuel efficiency.

While the entire line of Invincible catamarans will get you at least a 400-mile range at 40 mph, the 40 Invincible will offer 650+ miles at a 40-mph cruising speed. For anglers on the west coast of Florida where long runs are the norm, it just doesn’t get any better than this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are offshore catamarans so fuel efficient?

Catamarans can run with less water displacement than your typical monohull. Less displacement means better fuel economy. The less surface area via the two, narrower hulls as compared to a monohull means great fuel efficiency but also contributes to a comfortable ride since it can cut through the water with less “slamming.”

Do catamarans offer a better fishing experience compared to a monohull?

With regards to features such as rod holders, rod storage and livewells, the features are typically similar. Anglers appreciate the increased deck space that the catamaran offers as well as the ample storage, but the speed and range of these boats allowing Floridians to get to their favorite fishing spots fast really make these boats shine.

Are offshore catamarans becoming more popular in Florida?

While center console monohulls continue to be the most commonly owned boats around Florida, the offshore catamaran has seen a surge in popularity especially for anglers on the west coast of Florida where long runs are typical. The offshore cats started to be seen by Gulf coast fishing charter outlets a few years ago, and the newer line of larger, more powerful catamarans are giving even die-hard monohull enthusiasts compelling reasons for consideration.

As a boat buyer, you might be asked, paraphrasing the server at your favorite diner inquiring about coffee sweetener, “One hull or two?”

Invincible’s patented ­monohull has one of the lowest drag coefficients in its class. On its Open Fisherman and Center Cabin boats, 33 to 42 feet long, an air-fed tunnel produces higher speeds with lower power, plus a more stable ride — all while maintaining supple maneuverability. Designed by naval architect Michael Peters, it’s a fast hull in which passengers stay dry and comfortable, even in rough seas.

Take the best from the Invincible monohull and double it, and you have the firm’s patent-pending catamaran hull, with that design’s additional stability.

Morelli & Melvin, America’s Cup sailing-yacht creators, created the hybrid semi-asymmetric design. The result? Monohull-like maneuverability with comfortable handling in even quartering and following seas.

A pod between Invincible cat hulls splits water to soften the ride, and even with their ­additional size, the cat fuel economy is comparable to a monohull.

Invincible 40 Cat A big, seaworthy boat that seems to yearn for single-day, as well as multiday, adventures to far-off fishing hot spots, the 40 Cat was Invincible’s first in that format, creating what it called “the most advanced fishing catamaran on the market.”

Seakeeping ability was its original and overriding goal, especially making high-speed turns without drastic throttle reduction. It accomplished that through its game-changing asymmetrical sponsons. The double-stepped hulls lift onto plane quickly, reaching 55 mph in 10 seconds and tops out at over 70 mph when rigged with 350 Verados.

A huge aft deck, with ­26-inch-high gunwales and nearly 11½ feet interior width, sets the stage for efficiently fighting multiple fish.

Three livewells — twins of 55 gallons each at transom and a 72-gallon well beneath the cockpit sole — more than meet the two-livewell (93 percent) and ­big-bait-capacity (­61 ­percent) minimums of ­survey respondents.

Coaming pads ring the interior to cushion anglers’ legs amid fights. When the battle’s done, the 40 Cat houses the catch in two massive fish boxes below the aft deck, with another pair forward.

Rod-holder and storage options let you create your own fishing boat. Options also ­include a hardtop, ­folding tower/dual station or ­crow’s-nest, three-across helm seat ­configurations, an aft-facing bench that adds seating for three more, an outrigger, coffin box and more.

Survey Says: On Target

• Dry, stable ride matches boater priorities
• Livewells meet or exceed expectations
• Very fishable, solid, fast and reliable
• Stable platform with plenty of speed, and room for live bait and equipment

Invincible Says

• Looks as good as it rides
• The best (boats) for fishing, diving and cruising
• Premium customer service and unprecedented attention to detail
• Built to order, by hand, so customers can choose exactly the accessories they want

Invincible 40 Catamaran: 2018 Boat Buyers Guide

• By Saltwater Sportsman Staff
• Updated: December 30, 2017

Invincible boats, supremely at home in big water, are in rarefied air too. Those who know them ranked them among the very highest-rated boats in our survey.

Respondents distributed accolades evenly across our main categories of Design/Construction, Fishability, Performance and Value. They called the line’s safety, speed, range, construction and ride rock-solid.

The company breaks its focus into three parts: fishability, performance and yachtlike finish, and survey respondents make clear it hits all three marks.

Whether monohull or catamaran, at lengths from 33 to 42 feet, Invincible boats are created with fishing foremost in mind. Expect massive insulated fish boxes; consoles that welcome plenty of state-of-the-art Garmin or Simrad electronics; and step-free, nonskid level decks for fish-fighting ease and easy cleanup.

Monohull boats share a patented low-drag, ventilated stepped hull designed by naval architect Michael Peters. The new Invincible 40 Catamaran was designed by race-proven Morrelli & Melvin.

Invincible boats feature angled leaning posts; large, rugged and outrigger-ready tops; helms designed specifically for sure boat-handling in the harshest of seas; and insulated fish boxes designed to hold wahoo and kingfish without bending the catches’ tails — all touches that inspire confidence in the boat and its fish-catching abilities.

INVINCIBLE 40 CATAMARAN

Designed by the multihull naval architects at Morrelli & Melvin, composers of the modern America’s Cup yachts, Invincible calls its all-new 40-footer “the most advanced fishing catamaran on the market.”

Fishing families will be thrilled to hear that, like all Invincible boats, this elite fishing boat boasts a yachtlike custom finish and details.

The 40 cat was built with one aim, the company says, “seakeeping ability,” a particular ability to make high-speed turns without drastic throttle reduction.

Angler-pleasing standard touches include three livewells aft of the console, a pair of insulated fish boxes flanking it. Matching hatches in each hull provide easy bilge access, and there’s forward storage in each hull too.

A generous menu of options lets you match your boat to your tastes and fishing style. They include a hardtop (with crow’s-nest and ladder a further option) or ­folding tower with dual station, several LED courtesy-light packages and rod-holder configurations, outrigger, sea chest, livewell and baitwell enhancements, coffin box with seat top, and more.

The 40’s standard 640-­gallon fuel capacity dwarfs that of most boats; stepping up to an optional 800-gallon capacity gives the boat a 670 nm range, the c­ompany says.

Invincible 37 Cat Boat Review

• By Jim Hendricks
• Updated: April 2, 2019

In some eyes, Invincible Boats’ 37 Cat might have a tough act to follow. Its debut came on the heels of the much-anticipated rollout of Invincible’s first-ever multihull model, the 40 Cat, which I tested for the September/October 2018 issue of Sport Fishing .

But now, as the Invincible crew welcomed me aboard the 37 Cat at Crandon Park Marina on Florida’s Key Biscayne for a summer morning of offshore fishing, one of my first questions was, “Why would a customer choose the 37 instead of the 40?”

“Someone might want a slightly shorter length to fit in a slip or to dock along a canal in back of a home,” said Bill Cordes, Invincible’s director of sales and marketing. “The smaller size also helps when maneuvering in small, crowded marinas.”

Bait Mission We would soon test that theory — the first order of business was to squeeze into a narrow nearby channel to procure live pilchards from a local bait vendor. Equipped with SeaStar Solutions Optimus steering, controlling quad 350 Verado outboards, the 37 handled nicely in the tight confines. We easily sidled up to the stern of the bait boat in a spot where the 40-footer might not have fit. Cordes was right.

Invincible’s Jonathan Lipworth and I helped fend off as Cordes and Zack Howell, also an Invincible staff member, loaded bait. The 26-inch-high gunwales in the aft cockpit made it fairly easy to net the silvery baits from the floating pens. Between the 70-­gallon transom livewell and the 72-gallon well below the aft deck, the 37 hosted more than 300 live pilchards, and we were ready for action.

As we headed out, Lipworth explained that the 37 has the same 12-foot beam as the 40, but that the transom design is different. The transom interior is flat, despite the integration of the center livewell, allowing you to more easily work a fish around the outboard engines.

Bluewater Bound With 260 gallons of fuel, pressurized livewells brimming and fish lockers stuffed with ice, the 37 Cat rocketed past Stiltsville and Cape Florida at 52 mph, turning 4,500 rpm, where the four engines burned 55 gallons of fuel per hour, resulting in 0.94 mpg.

A pair of Garmin GPSMap 8617 multi­function displays — one set on sonar, the other on the chart plotter — helped guide the way. The powder-coated aluminum uprights for the hardtop meld gracefully with the center console and serve to frame the thick acrylic windshield and side windows that protect the helm.

This 37 sported a leaning-post-style helm seat with tackle stowage underneath and room for three people, but you can order three-across bucket helm seats with fold-down armrests and flip‑up bolsters.

We were headed to 200 feet of water to kite-fish for mahi and sailfish, and as we passed the shallower patch reefs, waves out of the south began to grow. This is where the design of the Invincible multihull really shines.

Smooth and Natural The Morelli & Melvin-engineered running surface features a semi-­asymmetrical cross-sectional design for each sponson. This shape allows the boat to lean inward while cornering. High-speed turns felt natural and comfortable, akin to a V-hull, versus turning flat or leaning outward.

The hull rode very smoothly through seas, with little bow-to-stern rocking motion and hardly any deceleration when meeting the waves, as you might experience with a V-hull. To help soften the water that rushes between the hulls, there’s a pod in between to diffuse the pressure.

We reached our fishing ­destination near Fowey Light, and deployed a sea anchor on the port side, securing its line to one of the heavy-duty pull-up cleats. We let the kite line out on the starboard side.

The hull laid in the trough, yet proved very stable, owing to its wide stance and twin hulls. The crew used the rigging station with its foldout shelf abaft the helm seating to rig tackle and bridle baits. Invincible has cleverly installed racks for spools of leader line inside the tackle-stowage ­compartment. A slide-out 105-quart cooler resides below the rigging station.

Space Ship While we waited for a bite, I explored the rest of the boat. The 37 Cat abounds with deck space, offering plenty of room for the crew to fish in the aft cockpit and move fore and aft between the console and gunwales. In addition, like all power cats, this boat carries its wide beam all the way to the bow, and this affords plenty of space forward, including room for a wide coffin box with five rod holders lining each side and a cushion on top. Dividers inside the box let you ­separate different types of cold goods.

A seat for two on the forward ­console gives crewmembers a place to take a load off. A companionway on the port side of the console offers access to the interior, where I stowed my camera gear.

Commotion in the aft cockpit drew my attention from the boat tour. A sailfish had attacked the bridled pilchard on the long kite line, and Cordes was up first. He wound the reel quickly to tighten the line, free it from the release clip and then secure the circle hook in the corner of the sail’s mouth.

As Cordes fought the fish, I noted the thick coaming pads that encircle the interior of the 37, cushioning his legs no matter where he followed the fish. The boat’s stability made it safe and comfortable to battle the fish from the bow as well as the stern. This sail was tough, staging a longer fight on the light tackle than we all expected and adding a few aerial flourishes to the mix. But eventually, Cordes coaxed the beautiful fish boatside, where Howell leadered it and removed the hook for a successful release.

Mutton, Honey We set the kite lines back out, but this time decided to fish an additional pilchard on a bottom rig as we drifted into shallower water. That turned out to be a smart decision. About 15 minutes into our drift, the rod bent double. Howell picked it up and fought the fish, which turned out to be a brightly ­colored ­mutton snapper.

On that successful note, our time ­offshore had come to an end. We headed in to the smooth waters of Biscayne Bay to gather performance data on the 37 Cat. Turning Mercury Revolution4 23-inch-pitch, four-blade stainless-steel propellers, the quad Merc 350 Verados powered the Invincible to plane in 4 ­seconds and 30 mph in 7 seconds from dead idle. We achieved a remarkable top speed of 74.1 mph at 6,500 rpm, burning 141 gallons per hour for 0.52 mpg.

Since this test, Invincible has changed the engine height and installed Rev4 24-inch-pitch pro-finished props. This helped the 37 Cat record a top speed of 77 mph at 6,350 rpm in subsequent tests, where the engines burned 122 gph for 0.63 mpg, ­according to Invincible.

Our best fuel efficiency occurred at 3,500 rpm and 37 mph, where the engines consumed 35.1 gph for 1.05 mpg. However, fuel efficiency at 4,000 rpm and 44 mph was nearly identical. During Invincible’s testing, the 37 Cat achieved it highest efficiency at 4,000 rpm and 45 mph, where the Mercs burned 42 gph for 1.07 mph. At any of these speeds, expect a cruising range in excess of 500 miles based on the 550-gallon fuel capacity.

Ultimately, the 37 Cat gives up little to its larger sister ship. The 37’s seakeeping ability is excellent. Yes, it’s a tad shorter than its sibling, but in some cases, that can be an advantage, especially when you need to squeeze into a narrow channel to load the livewells with bait.

2022 Invincible 33 Catamaran

• By Randy Vance
• Updated: October 12, 2021

I used to dis on catamarans. The early designs were soft-riding but wobbled over the seas like a drunken sailor. That’s all different with Invincible’s Morrelli and Melvin hull designs.

The hull-style name is a mouthful. A “hybrid semi-asymmetrical hull” applies the best characteristics of an asymmetrical catamaran with the stable-at-rest and soft-riding behavior of symmetrical cats. Yep, it’s a mouthful. To visualize an asymmetrical catamaran hull, imagine a V-bottom boat sliced longitudinally from stem to stern. Separate those two halves and you have a symmetrical cat with vertical inboard side walls and tapered outside side walls. A symmetrical cat has identical sponsons, tapered equally inboard and outboard. Blending the two styles provides turn-hugging inboard sponson side walls with wave-deflecting outside side walls. As a result, the boat makes sharp turns without awkward outboard heeling, and even in quartering seas, the sponsons stand firm in the slop. In fact, a catamaran design like this runs better in moderate chop, as if the sponsons know they have a job to do and go right to it. Top off the performance package with double steps, which break surface tension and release the hull from the water as bubble streams are introduced under the hull.

So, the ride is smooth in rough water, stable when trolling at displacement speeds, and it resists rolling in beam seas—all part of a proven formula for passenger comfort and serious fishing.

The 33 can be equipped with up to 900 hp, making a pair of Mercury Racing 450R engines top the horsepower heap. With the dual Verado 400s, we made nearly 62 mph with a 6.6-second hole shot, and a quick 11 seconds to 30 mph. I would expect nearly comparable results from Mercury’s newer V-8 300 hp platform.

Interior and Accessories

The helm station comes from Invincible’s 36, and the three-wide station seating from the 35 cat. The centered helm keeps the skipper’s mates at each elbow. The leaning-post seat is bolstered for three comfortable seating or leaning stations. A step below the helm adds comfort while standing or seated. The station itself offers massive room for dual 20-inch (or larger) screens—in our case, a 9-inch VesselView, an Icom VHF and a Fusion stereo controller. The hardtop stretches wide and aft of the leaning post, keeping the helm glare-free.

Inside the helm, there is ample room for a plumbed head, but the bonus besides storage is spacious access to the back of the instrument panel for maintenance and easy access to batteries, switches and breakers—best of all, they are logically and artfully wired.

But the 33 shines when you stop to fish.

Start with dual livewells. An oval well with a clear acrylic lid in the transom is 65 gallons, pressurized and fed from a sea chest in the starboard sponson with three pumps. There’s also a larger 65-gallon livewell belowdecks in the starboard sponson, so live-baiters can carry and coddle hundreds of baits.

The fighting cockpit is impressively spacious, taking full advantage of the 10-foot-3-inch beam. To port of the transom livewell is a pair of drawers ideal for tackle, ropes, or wash and wax supplies.

A 33 cat is ideal in size for many needs but rare as hens’ teeth on the market. Insetta makes a 35-foot cat with asymmetrical hulls. Sighting down the centerline beneath, you’ll see the vertical sponson walls, but if it’s in the water, you can’t see the hydrofoil spanning from sponson to sponson. The purpose is to give lift, reduce drag, and add stability and comfort to the on-plane ride. Topside, its beam is 5 inches wider at 10 feet, 8 inches, and though the length and beam are larger than the Invincible, somehow Invincible makes the cockpit feel larger.

The center console comes from Invincible’s 35 cat, giving the three-wide seating at the helm and mezzanine. Yet it nests in the deck, preserving wide walkways fore and aft while providing the amenities of the larger vessel.

The mezzanine seat (back of the leaning post) is three-wide, and the seating angle is designed to lean back even when the boat is on plane. Pull the seatback down, releasing the magnetic catches, and three compartments hold four more rigging drawers, three utility boxes and a tool stowage area. Not enough storage? No problem. Cabinets on the port and starboard sides of the leaning-post seat hold utility boxes, drawers and leader hangers.

Four larger fish boxes in the floor can alternatively be used for fenders. They pump out with durable “gulper” pumps instead of temperamental macerators. Two large dry lockers flank the anchor locker at the bow.

And the final jewel in the Invincible’s spaciously featured fishing and touring machine? A dual lounge sits forward of the helm, with thick cushions, deep bolsters, armrests and handy cup holders. Beneath it? You guessed it—an insulated coffin box that can be opened up for a fish box, divided for preserving iced food, or just used as dry storage.

Invincible’s great ride and spacious deck make it a formidable fishing machine, but one that casual cruisers will be eager to enjoy for long hours on the water.

How We Tested

• Engines: Dual Mercury 400 Verados
• Drive/Prop: Mercury Enertia Eco 16″ x 18″ stainless-steel propset
• Gear Ratio: 1.75:1 Fuel Load: 50 gal. Water on Board: 0 gal. Crew Weight: 600 lb.

High Points

• Forty-seven rod holders arrayed in gunwales, the transom, and the leaning post and center console.
• Mezzanine seating converts to a tackle station with spacious storage, including compartments to port and starboard of the leaning post.
• Foredeck houses an anchor locker flanked by two large storage compartments for fenders.
• Wraparound bow seating would be a nice option for added comfort.
• Side boarding door would be a nice addition to this design.

Offering the same range, performance and 360-degree fishability of the center console 46’ Catamaran, but equipped with the sleeping space and comfort of a comparably-sized sportfish.
