What do you own now Sounds like you are making a quantum leap in boats. Having owned 6 cats the last being a 36 Nor Tech I dont think you want a 43 as your first Nothing against the one you are talking about but it is massive Docking a 43 and trailering a boat that size is a lot of work....check insurance first A 36 is a great all around cat Good luck!

Forget the boat.
Your haul truck and your entourage is bigger too.
Difficult to go boating without help.
A new 1075 boat being used 100 hours a season and going to 6-7 poker runs a year is very expensive to own all things considered.
A used one is all surprise $$$.
Nothing to do with the brand , all to do with drive train.
36 with 700s is the way to go.

Yes it will be my first cat and 36 v-hull is what I am accustomed to thus far in the game. I was merely thinking I would skip the "I need a bigger boat" phase, but you may be right. I typically only boat with 2-4 people and I dont want a major pain in butt, I want to have fun and enjoy boating.

To be honest Catastrophe, I really tend to only put 30-50 hours on a boat per year. Both boat Im looking at have fresh 1075's. That would make 2-3 years before a rebuild if everything works out right.

36/43
I bought the current owner of Catastrophe's 36 NT when he sold it, he keeps his boats immaculate. You would not be dissapointed in its condition.

Thanks, that is great to know, but these guys have made me a little nervous about the 43, I think I may be leaning towards a 36 for ease of boating reasons.
