Any divers?

Re: Any divers?
I dive off a 22 foot Seacat with twin 140 Suzukis.Love the convenience of the walk through transom and you can,t beat the ride.We go to CaySal bank from Marathon quite a few times a year with four people on board and i 'll tell you what it is hard to believe you are on a 22 foot boat.Even with all the weight of 4 people and 12 tanks and enough beer to get a small country bombed it still cruises at 30 through 3-5 footers with reasonable comfort and tops out at 40 if the waves are in the 2-3 range.Plain and simple you can,t beat a cat,but i would go up to a 25 footer if you can afford it.

Ohs one more thing the cat is like a little performance boat,lightly loaded it will run 50 and is an absolute ball to go jump waves in.The ride is like riding on a cloud when the boat is lightly loaded.

Re: Any divers?
I never had experience with CC's before, but Steve gave me the keys to the OSO Spectre for an afternoon when I was down there in February. I was really impressed with this boat. Lots of room and great handling for a smaller boat. I would seriously consider this for a knock around boat if I was in the market for one.

Re: Any divers?
I would definately stay with a performance type hull. I can only afford one boat and still prefer cruising and hitting different rest/bars (boating responsibly) and taking overnight trips.
I guess I knew a cc was more practical. Just hoping I wasn't missing something in the performance boat world. This is a little disappointing since I almost ruled out a cc.

Re: Any divers?
Did you look at the smaller Sun Sports from Formula? Think this would be a nice compromise for what you want to do.

Yep, the side dive door on the Intrepid is awesome! Heck the whole Intrepid boat line is awesome.
I have not been on the water in a 24 Spectre CC but my Fountain dealer in St. Pete sells them and the finish work of the ones I have seen are just as top notch as the Cat's.
