There are no categories for waterspouts specifically. However, waterspouts that hit land are counted as tornadoes. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which has six levels from EF0 to EF5. Very few waterspouts are stronger than EF1.

Is a waterspout a solid cylinder of water?

No. A waterspout is a vortex of air, essentially a tornado on water. The low pressure in the waterspout causes the moiat air in it to cool, which causes water droplets to condense, forming a funnel cloud. A waterspout will also spray up some water from the surface, but not a very significant amount.
