Re: Highest Quality Cat Builder?
Fred, you are right. Skater does set the bar pretty high but MTI's and Nor-tech are right there with 'em. i was down in cinnci a few weeks ago working on the Batboats and i had some down time while somthing was drying so i grabbed a flash light and crawled around in the sponsons of Chris' supercat (actually i was taking notes for a future project 
). its a full canopy 39. Now being a glass guy myself i can appreciate the work put into building these things. the tabbing and glasswork was impecable. MTI builds one heck of a boat. next time im in FLA i would like to see if i can go through NorTech. i have seen quite a few of them down at the worlds in keywest but would love to see how they are built. very impressive boats to say the least.

Re: Highest Quality Cat Builder?
I am really hooked on the new Nortech cats. Awsome looking and built boats. Skater would be my second choice if I had money to burn. I just like that Nortech will put a cabin in their boats, and Skater told me in person during a tour that they do not like to put cabins in their boats and will do just about anything to talk their customers out of a cabin.

If you need space to get out of the weather, buy a sportfishing boat....
