Yes, the cabin is behind the rear seat, a great design, you can sit up in the cabin with plenty of head room and you don't need to crawl on your hands and knees to get into it. You can also comfortably walk between the front seats and sit down, you don't need to crawl over the controls and seats like a lot of other cats.

You guys are so helpful!
If Scott Shogren wants to sell me that 42 GTX at $120k, I'll be more than happy to buy it!
Scott?
A couple of the cigs look interesting and have been on the market a little while now, but they still have the dreaded bravos though. The 377 looks really nice as well, but I've never been a fan of cats with center pods, although they're great lake boats.
I appreciate the help guys, but I honestly need to define exactly what it is that I really want. Do I want a cat or a vee, do I need a cabin, how big and roomy does the cockpit need to be, how large or small am I willing to go, do I really want to spend this much when I know it's such a poor investment, am I okay with a bravo based boat, turn key boat or a project and save some money, etc??? Last month I was set on a vee, two weeks ago I was ready to buy a 36 Spectre (turns out the 'motivated' seller didn't want to show it becasue it had snow on the cover), last week I was seriously looking at 40 Skaters. Six months ago I didn't want to spend more than $30k on my next boat, then it became $75k, then $100k, then $120k, then I started considering financing as well (which I'm drawing the line there and not doing, despite today's cheap money).
So I really need to decide what it is that I want, what I 'need', and what's practical and somewhat logical in both function and price given our short boating season and the fact that I'm on my next door neighbors boat all the time anyway... which is in a slip and so easy to jump on and enjoy for the afternoon at a moments notice.
The smart thing to do would be to sell my current boat and not buy another one! But nobody ever said I was smart!

Frank,
I completely agree that the TS TG's are fantastic when it comes to resale. They're sharp boats with a classic name and look. I also agree that cats aren't all that popular around here, which is partly of why a TG doesn't interest me quite as much, everyone and their brother has a Cig (TG) or a Sutphen around here! Not that it's a bad thing, but even an OL almost seems like a white elephant around these parts, and they're right around the corner!
If Shogren wants to sell that OL at $120k I'll buy it, but honestly that's as far as I want to stretch the budget on my next boat... I'd prefer to stay well below that if I can find something that really interests me.
There's another boat that meets a lot of my desires that I've been looking into for a few months (Dan shut your pie-hole), so I want to check out a couple of those that are for sale and see what I think. It's kind of keeping with Kev's older party barge theme.
