Default Whats the best 30ft cat?Help!!!

Really, whats the best cat?

Looking to buy a cat for use around Tampa Bay, live near a launch and have tow vehicle, want to stay around 30ft.

Need a limited cabin to escape rain and sun, limited overnighting.

Have limited seat time in an o/b 32, but am curious about the ride difference with a couple of 502's, I imagine the big blocks weight difference will help. The outboard cat seemed light and the ride was a little bouncy in head seas 3-4's, didnt ride bad, just different.


Whats the best?
Skater? Spectre? Eliminator?
Any to stay away from?
Any general suggestions?

Looking to spend around 100k...
