Ditto. I am going through the same thing, have looked at a few cats (for boating at LOTO) and it is a significant jump in insurance costs. Not rediculous, but a there is some sticker shock. I know you said you wanted over 85, and this is a shameless plug, but I have a 38' for sale at LOTO, handles the rough stuff there just fine but tops at 81 right now. Link below if interested...

The insurance on my 06 Eliminator is very resonable (a third of what was mentioned)- due to the 496 HO's for power. But thats the kicker - my boat w/ that power will do over 100mph , And you can get a 5year extended warrenty, these are the reasons i bought this boat;
stock mild power
100mph
affordable insurance.
Excellent ride
I too would like a big powerful cat going 130+ but the cost to operate and own was prohibitable.
