I know none of these ships are never gonna be brought back into the fleet for the obvious reasons they got rid of them and they're getting rid of their sisters now but if it did which one should be brought back?

The PacifiCats as they are new and still useful. Sure they ended up with a few problems, but I'm sure it can be easily delt with. ;D

they should buy 1 Fastcats back and place it on
P.R. Comox because they think it can handle the area and make it in half time the only thing they should do is let overhight vheicles on by getting rid of the second car deck and adding platform ramps to the deck

That would be cool if the fastcats came back the only major problem they had with them was the wake  and what route would they go on or even better make a new route hmm ill add my idea on that other thread new routes. |

the wake somehow might be no problen on PR-Comox
thats what they think could happen but BCF should have tested them on other routes before selling them

They could even use two of them on that route and change the docks at both ends for a double decked dock and use the third on the Duke Point route and replace the Newwest with it and use her as an extra on the 3 major routes.

Well Two might not work on PR-Comox because of the N.I.P. on the Texada run they also shouldn't get them to put in rennovations to the berths PR's is on a wharf and Little River terminal it just won't work. Like I said the way to go is letting Overhight on and adding platform ramps if they bought them back get rid of the second deck.

Your right, a PacifiCat may very well work on Powell River-Comox. I'd suggest removing the upper car deck (or not even building one with an upper car deck) before placing it on the route. I think it'd work perfectly.

I certainly wouldn't want one of the Fastcats on the Comox-Powell River run! They are ugly and don't have much of an outer deck... I hope the Burnaby stays on that run until they retire her.

they dont have much of an upper deck because law states that a ship doing more than 30 knots cannot have passangers on the forward deck. they could expand the upper aft deck though
