Reasons I don't think I could ever buy a mid-size CAT:

Low potential for overnight stays.

Low-slung design. Most docks here on the bay are fairly high at low tide. Low-slung boats are a ***** to keep from floating under the dock.

High insurance - many thousand per year???

The reason above don't mean much to many people. Bottom line - there is no one boat that will give you everything. Three months ago I would have sold you my 2001 29 so that I could move up. Getting too close to summer now.

Turbo, I am getting the discovery for 1500 over invoice so I don't think I will get hurt to bad. It also has the 330HP Cat with about 850lbs of tq. I tow my 28 cat with my Tahoe, I have added a Whipple and some other Mod's to the Tahoe and it tows Awsome. I think the Motor Home we are looking at would tow my 28 just fine since a friend has a 36 Daytona and he tows that with his Fleetwood Diesle that has 300hp.

Cat&Mice - I gotta make my 6.2's look like yours - they're awesome! p.s. Just how big are you? That cat's leaning to starboard :p ;)

Elimi - got the pictures - looks like Gods country! Your wife looks nice, truck looks *****n, thanks!

Mike, what does Todd want to build now????

Catmando, Ya I know what you meant! Also I noticed the Smiles next to the comment and I have learned not to take things with smiles seriuosly. If you ask my wife she say's it was stupid and she doesn't include any smiles!! :D

UT, Real funny!! I hope that is not a fat guy joke! :D

Pyle

Cat&Mice, no, no, not fat - "big," didnt you say your 6'5"? A virtual mountain of a man, etc. :D

I was just kiddin, Yes I am a big guy, that is why I have to build really light boats.

Since I just turned 30 today I guess my next boat should be 30ft long. I think it's going to get harder and harder to keep up with that rule (a ft for every year) :D

Just jump up to the to the 50 Nortech and skip the motor home. Bet the wife would love that. :D

Garry ,Ya that would work (Not!!)

Dustin said your boat ran over 100 no problem! Thats Awsome. What has been your top speed??
