Searching for a Cat
 

I sold my Fountain today! I loved the boat but i was ready to move to a cat. Please post what you have or if you know where one is for sale. Here is what i am looking for.

*Budget is right around $35K. I cant go much higher than that.
*Single Engine.
*25' - 27' (Nothing smaller than 25')
*NO open bow or deck boats.
*I need to keep the top speed under 75MPH for insurance reasons.
*I am willing to buy something without power.
*I prefer Canopy's but it would not be a deal breaker.
*I don't mind having to travel to go get it.
*My top choice is Eliminator but would look at whatever is out there.
*NO outboards

Send me what you have!

Be open to outboards. You get a lot more boat for the money and very reliable power.

look at the 2000 dcb in classifieds

I put up a good boat but then i reread and saw that you said single engine. Good luck.

Here one a little over budget, but a really clean boat.

I love the 26' Eliminators!! Probably my favorite cat!

I talked to him over email and he wont budge too much on the price. I like the boat and don't mind the travel to get it but i cant go that high. Thanks for posting the boat.

Keep them coming!

There is a 26' awesome cat at Heartland Marine in Loto for around 30k

No problem. I will keep my eyes open. I live in Eliminator country.

Awesome! Thanks.

ttuton - I'm not a big fan of the Awesome Cats. I just don't like the way they look. Thanks for letting me know though. I saved the site to my favorites so i can check back with them.

Can someone tell me if the 25' or 26' Eliminator cuddys are usable or is it just used as storage? Im not talking about hanging out in there for a long time, i'm just talking about getting out of the sun for a little bit or maybe preparing lunch.

I have not been in either so any advice would be great!

Thanks!

I have owned a 25 Eliminator with the 2 cooler option and a 26 Eliminator with the 2 seat option down front and as long as you are not planning on hanging out all day, they will both allow you to get out of the sun, make a sandwich, or have an escapade with your favorite girl that day. I have had friends with 28' Profile Cats and Spectre Cats and they would always come over if we were going to party on my 26 since it had room up front for coolers, storage, bumpers and stuff.

That's some good info! Thanks. Now i just need to fine one!

I often look around online in the price range you're talking about. If you don't like the Awesome Cat then you might not be partial to this one but I really like how much usable space these things have. It's a 25 Warlock.

WARLOCK

I hope there us one like this still up in a few months from now.

Hate having my hands tied right now.

You do know he is looking for a cat and not a V bottom? :lolhit:

Congrats!!

Thanks Dykstra! I am pumped about it! Cant wait to get it home!

I GOT A 2004 26 AMERCIAN OFFSHORE NO MOTOR $25000:daz:

I think that Eliminator goes more than 75 judging by the engine hatch :) (Kidding) Congrads on the new boat...

Congrats and welcome to the CAT family . Your gonna fall in love all over again . Enjoy

Does that boat have a 575sci? It looks like a boat a buddy of mine used to own, Got traded to a guy in Georgia. If it is the same boat it do boogy!

Congrats. That's a good looking/running boat..

Do you know the boat?

I am buying the boat without a motor. It had a 540 in it so it is probably not the same boat. I hope the boat still Boogies though!!

Fountain family, The boat I was thinking of would do at least 90 with a stock 575. What are you thinking for power? Oh I always seem to forget to say congrats on your new toy, Enjoy. Randy

3 days?? What took you so long, you're worse than 30sport !!!!! LOL :lolhit:

Thanks MrSneakAttack and AO31!!

Does anyone know the weight of a 26' Eliminator?

Well it was a long weekend but i got it home last night around 8:30.

The boat looks and trailers great!!

It was everything the seller said it was. He was extremely helpful and a great guy.
