Triples in a cat?
How does this work? And what is the deal with Ocean Express cats? They look like they are really cool laid out boats. Havn't seen anything newer in advertisments, but the older ones are really cool looking. Anyone know anything about them?

Ocean X's are pretty cool boats. wont be the fastest but are layed out for space and comfort. they are the only ones i have seen do a triple in a cat and require a center pod to accommodate the center drive. i have seen that boat a few times and shes a big'un 
use to run out in the sandusky area and was pretty nice when i saw it but that was several years ago. i seem to remember the owner saying it went somewhere in the buck twenties. They have been working on a new 49 that is VERY cool but it has been in the works for several years now. not sure what the status is in that one.

What do you look for in these older boats for structure problems or issues. My old scarab hull faired very well over the years. I am wondering about these boats. Do they make a lot of these and people just don't sell them, or did they go out of business. Are they Like Sutphen, where they only make a few every year?

Those express cats are on the heavy side and have very large tunnels that require big hp to run. I would be all over that boat with a moisture meter if i was looking at buying it.

With old hulls I am always worried about rot, cracks, deterioration, bad fuel tanks.

Nothing wrong with an older Jag: I know. No worries about rot, since they're all composite and extremely strong...ask Doug with On Time (35' Jag). They're not the fastest, but they ride great . 
I have mine insured thru Markel/Elton Porter Insurance in Houston.
