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.

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!

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!
