3) Do not know the exact dimension. The 31 has a large cabin area. For a 31' cat. Don't try to compare the cabin size in a cat vs. a V-hull.

Have you ridden in a 31' cat?
Rotax, I'm only comparing the "bed-room" (you can't really call it "head-room") in the 31' with the 38' Awesome. The pics seem to suggest that the 31' may actually have more room between the bed and the ceiling than the 38'. I apologize, I should have made it more clear that I was comparing a 31' cat with a 38' cat and not a 38' V.

I haven't ridden in a 31' cat. That's why I'm uncertain of whether or not it would handle the water that I generally boat in. I'm comfortable in that water in a 26' V bottom wide open, but I don't know if the 31' cat would get tossed around or be otherwise unstable.

The only cat that I've been in is a 38' Awesome, and that, of course, handled the water just fine.

I never realized that the 31' Awesomes only had an 8.5' beam.

If you are comfortable in a 26 ft V wide open then you will be more then happy with a 31 AO or Awesome.

This was a quote from another Awesome thread on the subject of buying a 31 cat.
"The cabin area (although not that big) played a part in why I purchased my cat. The ladies HAVE to HAVE a place to store their stuff, change their clothes, #1 in private, powder their nose, make woopie in private, make lunch, blend some margaritta's, etc, etc, etc. More so with kids too." Satisfy your questions, go see Randy.
