For 0-100 speed it's hard to beat a cat. I like bolsters and the ride of a vee. Cabin goes to vee. I love my Scarab but a friend had a 10 year old Skater 26" with 300's. It was a blast but in rough water mine would eat him up. Answer is make enough money to have one of each.

I don't care what "lake" you are referring to...a Skater is a better all around boat...rough water and calm...than anything Eliminator ever dreamed of.
It's a California thing

Key word was MONEY. If your boating on a normal lake than you will love the ride of a eliminator, If you go to the ocean than you better step up in money and size and get a skater.

If you're looking for best performance in any water, than Skater it is.
But, as Semper Fi said, you better check around on insurance as it can be shocking.
(I've been quoted $2900 a year for a 26 Daytona with a HO, and 6 month layup!!!!

Unless you don't want wackers in a sub 30 boat, need the "cabin" space, aren't racing anyone in the rough, and have a limited budget. West Coast cats can definitely fit the bill as the better all around "family" boat.
