I am on a mission to find my first cat. I come from the deep v side, but I am now convinced that a cat is the only way to go. I just wanted to see if you guys new anything about this boat in the classifieds:

I am also looking a 1997 32 skater with 600sc carbed. I know the resale could be better on the skater, but I think the extra 4' and extra beam will be better for running in the gulf. I am not sure about having a big carbed motor either. I am not that familiar with carb motors and I am concerned it would be a PIA.

What do you professionals think, good, bad or ugly. I thank you in advance for your help.

The 36spectre is a splash from the 32 skater i would go with the skater they are great riding boats! And that spectres been for sale for a long time sosomething has to be wrong with it because with those motors it should have sold by now.

I have never ridden or drove a Skater, But I love my 36 Spectre. My advice would to be grab your bag of cash and sea trial both and see which you like the best and fits your budget.

Yes it has been for sale for awhile...you are probably right. I appreciate the thoughts.

Do a road trip and look at the boats. Have them take you out for a ride. Get a survey on the one you decided on. I have a boat with 2 teague 800efi and love the motors. Don't let it bother you about being for sale for a long time.

Used to be owned by Jeff (Three Days Only) on the boards.
I haven't seen the boat since about 2006 but saw it often in that era. Was immaculate then. Only thing wrong with it in those days was a bunch of Gray Goose spilled in it

36' Spectre is a sweet boat!
