Looking to buy a cat. I have seen the motion and the spectra. Look similar with similar performance. Any help on which one to buy. Is it just brand preference? There are several on here that are nicely priced. 36 Tsunami with 525 for 49k is a deal I believe. Any info? Thanks in advance.
How does the 36 Spectre and 35 Motion run against each other? Rough water? One better? I have always had a V and would like a cat. Both fall into my budget price wise and I have insurance secured. I have heard the Motion runs better in the rough due to the tunnel. I was told by a Spectre owner the tunnel at the transom will slap if not going fast enough. Any truth to this? How would either boat handle the water compared to a 33 Powerplay? Better? As good? Not as good?
Sorry for the hijack and questions but I saw the thread and couldn't resist because I dig both and can't afford a Skater.

Edit: I found this thread posted about this exact topic and it mirrors the same info I was told when I was looking at 36 Spectres...

Thanks guys. It has 2004 525's with roughly 225 hours. The man who owned the boat recently passed away. I have to talked to several people who know him and the boat. It was very well maintained with an open checkbook. I am more curious about what was done to the boat prior to him owning it. I want to make sure there isnt prior structural damage.

I currently have a 2002 36 Spectre with 500 EFIs and really like it. I don't use it often enough, so I am considering selling, but I really hope they are worth more than $49,000! I have never broken a drive, or had any major issues with the boat. I think for the money they are the best "big" cat available!!! I have seen the boat that is advertised in a lot of Poker Run photos, but with that paint scheme it would be hard not to notice it! If that boat is legit, with no major issues, I think it's a steal at $49,000!!!
