Cat VS V

When I was looking 2 years ago, I took a 28 Skater(250 XS's) and a 28 AT(525) for test rides. I liked the ride of both, but the skater seats were cramped, there was no storage space up front and I missed the noise of the I/O. Plus, it was almost impossible to get an insurance quote at my age(28 back then).

We can overnight on the AT, have more people and supplies and I can afford to put gas into it with the insurance savings.
 
Another way to look at it is that the cat gets better fuel mielage , so that fuel savings can go toward insurance.
I switched from elton porter on my last skater to Bob leuellen at Worldwide marine
(800 339-1235) and cut my ins bill in HALF! worth getting a quote!
 
Always wanted a Cat because they pass the century mark with ease!On the negitive side storage,price,no cabin ,insurance,fit more people on a V.
 
Thats not fun for me. I enjoy working on my stuff as much as going out in it:sifone:

Thats why you like going out with us.... you can ride and work on my boat. LMFAO.

Can't wait till Friday the 17th. We are jacked about it.... now carry on with the original topic.

Oh and I chose the V because I couldn't stand the price of insurance and I liked the fact that I have more room!! And nothing beats the sound of two rat motors roaring:26:

Yep I'm ready for the shoot out also.

The first time meting and riding in your new boat was great:moon:. Busted impeller on one engine, busted starter on the good engine and hoping the wind blows us to the dock:rofl: Second time out busted hoses.. 3rd time out engine just quits... Now that I think about it maybe I shouldn't ride with you:sifone:

What time you want to hit the water?
 
Coming from the "V" camp and buying a "Cat" a couple of years ago I can agree with the saying...."Once you go Cat you never go back"...yes the insurance is pretty steep but being able to run at 100+ without breaking a sweat is pretty cool... I'm over having to run as fast as I can...been there done that....and there's always someone faster anyway....
 
big advantage in the vee is that if your out at the islands etc, and a storm blows across, you can go below.

In my neck of the woods we just seek shelter at the closest watering hole....like say....Dog Day's, Frankie & Louies, Shorty Pants where ever we can get too....btw....mine has a little cabin, not enough for a bunch of people but works in a pinch...:26:
