Re: Which cat with a cabin?
anything under 800hp in a 36 nortech is no fun. all - most boring... as far as custom engine builders perhaps you should find a new one..... or you can buy a Nor tech with 850 mer efi.... for what 500k? 
good luck with your serch.

Re: Which cat with a cabin?
38 or 39 Ocean Express. Full cabin with 55 inch wide bed over the tunnel. Lots of deck space. Ton's of storage
The OE's are party barges for the whole family. You can walk from the deck into the cabin on either side of the boat.
I have had 8 people on the boat cruising at 100 mph with 4 people standing up and walking around. Can't do that in anything else. The most I have ever had is 8 sitting and 4 standing comfortably and still crusing 100 mph.
Every other cat is a get in, sit down and stay there. I have been on them all. I also have a 40 Skater.

OE does build a 33 though, less power for that one.

Re: Which cat with a cabin?
If it takes 850 to make a Nortech 36 move, then that's more than I want to mess with. What kind of power does a 36 skater with a cabin need to get to 100?

I just saw this during a look around the net. Titan Cats
Any comments on these? I've never heard of them.

A few Nortechs and MTI's some have speeds listed with smaller power.

36 pleasure skater with a cabin with 525's should be around 110-115.
