The best deal on a cat right now is the 30 Spectre that was completely redone in 2005, Twin 300 mercs 1/4 canopies and everything new, That boat is a steal !!!
he is only "Asking" 63k. By the time you buy an older 24 Skater an freshen it up and go through the boat like you would have to on any older boat, i.e. rigging, motors, interior, paint etc. you will probably have the same if not more money out of pocket. Only buy turn key, be on the water more!!!

The 24 is actually not that bad on insurance if you have the right agent and have been with the same company for a long time. For some reason they seem more concerned with the 28's and above. Price tag maybe??

Yah, I got a pretty good quote (sub $800) from Insurance God (empowermarine.com) on OSO. He told me that value, power, size, experience, and where you boat are all factors.
Seems like all the people really shouting about insurance are looking at big cats with moster power. And also sort of seems like they're the people who are getting into a big cat with moster power as their first cat experience ever (and I don't know Thunderduck, his situation or any of that, I'm basing this on what I've read in the IF section and from talking to agents).
Thanks for the offers guys! Still not sure what's going to come of this... I've made an offer on one boat but it may or may not work out. There's a lot of moving pieces. To be honest, if this one doesn't work out, I'll probably wait until I sell my race car and then go with something a bit cheaper and smaller for an occasional use lake boat, with an eye to move up to a 36 for ocean use in a few years.
