I am looking for an outboard cat and would like to spend less than $50K. I am looking for a decent rough water boat that is why i said no motions or spectres........

You must be getting some bad information - the 30 Motion and Spectre are both great rough water cats for their size. I had a 30 Motion O/B and it would run in a lot snottier water than my prior boat a 29 Fountain Fever and ran a lot better than a friends 35 Fountain.

Doubt if you find many 30 - 32 ft cats with outboards for under 50K that are worth a d*mn..... but good luck.

Skaters and such would come at the price , even without power. I like the old school cats like the Chris Crafts

here's one for sale complete under 40K

Go for a ride in a Motion you wont regret it! You'll be hard press to find a nice one for under 50k though.

Good luck with finding one that rides better and with the 50K

I can not think of one outboard cat that will ride better than a Motion except a Skater or maybe a Doug Wright, but you did say under $50k. I am have no suggestions other than a Motion........

By the way....thats a Wellcraft Excalibur cat, not a ChrisCraft.

Ditto.

30 Spectre, 30 Motion, 28 Skater or 32 Classic

how about a 30 shadow?????
