Yeah you know him. He has a ponytail and used to have a Top Gun.................get it? I'm workin him to death on the 36. He keeps saying, "why would I want to go that fast?" I keep saying, "why not?" He's a player on one, he just ordered a new dock with 44ft slips.

You should also look at Awesome Powerboats. The cabin is much nicer and bigger than the AO3100. I'm not sure on the length, is it a 33?

I would agree the Eliminator is not in the same class as MTI and Skater. However, not in the same price range either. All 3 are very nice well built boats.

thjanks for the plug T2x.

I gotta agree with you on the eliminator comment as well. They are nice, but skaters are damn masterpieces.

27,

Here is a list of cats that I know that have cabins and are 35+

MTI 42
Skater
Ocean Express
Awesome 3800
Nortech 3600
Hustler 377 Talon
Mares 38

There are some West Coast builders that are now getting into the big cat market and putting nice cabins on them.

Eliminator
Magic 34 and 44

We were shopping for a big cat at the beginning of the year. We pretty much looked at all the ones on the first list minus the MTI and Skater due to monetary reasons. The last 4 on the top list can come nicely equipped for probably under 350K. Of course this is with mild power.

Forgot to had Fountain to the list. They have a 42, which is actually a MTI. It was designed by Randy for Fountain. Hard to tell them apart.

the Ocean express cats are big ole party barges. not goignt o be anywhere near as fast or nimble as a skater or nortech, or eliminator or any ofthe like. But its willmove pretty good and you can fit 12 peopel in the cockpit. Hell they are 12" wide and come with seating for 8. # up front and 5 across the bench!

Cigracer,
I was hoping you knew somebody I didn't. But keep on hammering ole J.E. He keeps threatening but I think his injury is holding back.
We need some of these babies on Grand Lake.
