42 MTI or 36 Eliminator Cat
I am looking to learn more on these two boats, especially from anyone with personal experience. Or if anyone can think of other cats in the same size that offer cabins.

Dredgeking,
Its not that I need a cabin, I just can't justify having a boat over 25' and not having a place to crash if I need to. I looked at Spectre and Skater, but cannot find a boat they make with a cabin???? Why would you wast so much space in the front??
Thanks for the input on MTI

They make a 36 Skater Pleasure model with a cabin. None compare to the cabin in the MTI's. The Eliminator is a center pod tunnel (I am not sure about the MTI). If speed is a major factor go with the Skater. They are all true tunnels. I would say Skater would be the most expensive followed by MTI then Eliminator. Fit and finish is a tough choice. Eliminator does paint their boats under the gelcoat which is a nice feature. I grew up on a 21 Eliminator Daytona after 13 years the boat still looked brand new.

Mti's are like a show car. Everything on them are perfect but then again your paying for it. Attention to detail is paramount.

No insult intended, but I wouldn't put Eliminator in the same category as a Skater, an MTI ( Skater derivative), or a Nortech. The latter three are in a whole different league in terms of design, construction, handling, speed, and resale.
The primary reason to buy a cat is performance. To "justify" purchasing one based on cabin space seems to defeat the whole premise. As I have often said, if you care about cabin space and amenities.......buy a Sea Ray.
