Owner Experience Review
Owners and reviewers agree the 260 DC-XfromWORLD CATdelivers a notably smooth, stable ride for its size. The twin-hull powercat design with sharp forward entries and high freeboard calms down chop; one owner reports that 8' rollers are no problem and that in 4' chop the boat can skim along around 35 mph. Handling does differ from a monohull, but most owners say you adapt within a trip or two, and the boat feels forgiving with little need to fuss with trim tabs.
For mixed family and fishing duty, the cockpit layout works. Reviewers highlight clever touches like the swing-out/stowaway cooler seat, fold-down transom features, and a versatile bow lounge that converts to a sunpad or casting deck, with forward- and aft-facing seating and convertible backrests. The pivoting front-of-console door makes the enclosed head in the starboard console easy to access without blocking the center passage, which families appreciate on beach days and short overnights; freshwater washdown and hardtop rocket launchers support the sandbar-to-offshore routine.
As a new model announced in 2023 with production beginning July that year and most inventory labeled 2024–2025, there isn’t much long-term failure data yet; none of the sources point to widespread, model-specific issues. Many dealer listings pair the 260 DC-Xwith twin Yamaha F200s, which typically helps with parts and service access, and the owner’s manual emphasizes dealer orientation and scheduled service under a transferable limited hull warranty. Several owners of similar 26–27'WORLD CATmodels caution that trailering and ramp work can be on the edge of what feels reasonable, so plan accordingly if you won’t store the boat in a slip or on a lift.

- Pivoting front-of-console door improves access to the enclosed head and keeps the center aisle clear.
- Handling feels different than a monohull and takes a trip or two to master.
- Routine trailering and ramp loading can be demanding at this size, per owners of similar 26–27' WORLD CATmodels.
