Default best 30' and smaller cat with small cabin

Looking to get some insight on any cat builder 30 ft or smaller with small cabin, inboard or outboard that will take on nasty big lake Huron waves, 2.5 to 3.5'. Year doesn't matter. Anyone have one for sale?

30 fot cat and cabin don't go together to well, there are a few out there but I would call them a coffin bunk not a cabin.

Your selection would be increased if your sights were "lengthened" a little. How about 31' and smaller?

Choices would be (in alpha order):
American Offshore Awesome Chris Cat Eliminator Shadowcat Superboat Visious I have probably not listed some of the West Coast cat builders. There is others. Since your a East/Central boater, locating a West Coast cat other then Eliminator is going to be difficult without driving a great distance. If I have not listed some builder, please do chime in.

American Offshore is my choice, great rough water boat, and the biggest cabin in its class. I can get you a quote on a new one, and I have a nice 99 that came in on trade if you are interested in a used one.

30ft HTM has a big cabin for it's size, as well as a 31 warlock and maybe the 29 carrera.

Find a shadow cat.I have a 30 with a large cuddy and porta potty with twin promax 300's almost 90mph and a family boat to boot and also one of the best rough water boats I have ever driven.
