Reply With QuoteIf you owned a 21 Daytona.....and have to ask that question.....you belong in a vee ............
Just sold the 21 Daytona, so I'm looking to go bigger 25 to 28'. The question is cat or v? My kid likes the underneath seating we saw in the 28'Ultra, but I'm trying to stay out of that price range. So, I guess I need to find out if someone else makes a open bow with a couple of seats tucked underneath.
Also, insurance. Whats gonna kill me? A cat or V and what HP to stay around?
Theres only 3 of us , so I dont really have to have a full open bow.
Thank You

It was a question of the things I'm looking 4 as in the underbow seating, ins. etc. I loved the Daytona ride and said I'd never go V, but Its been 10 years since I've looked at boats and I want to make sure I go the right way.
I know, once you go cat, you never go back
I have a 2000 27 baja and love it. I always wanted a cat but the $ has always stood in the way for me. Its just me and my wife and we love boat camping and hanging out with friends. I love the way it handles the ruff water. It seams to be the right size for us. Not to big but, not to small. I think that the cat are way cool but thats alot of $$$$$. I have a 502mpi and pay about $500 a year. I guess its all about what you want and your into??? I would love to get a cat but would need to sell my for the right price. Alway wanted a cat just never got there yet. Good luck.
I would say if your going in the 28' range get a V.
Depending on the length and the power your insurance might not be as bad as you think. Send Andy01 a PM and see what he can do for you for insurance. We had a 29 ft deep V prior to the deckboat that we have now, yes not the same as a regular cat, but I would not trade the ride of the deckboat for the ride of a V any day...
Whats the reason for the V in 28' and above? I did see the 25'Daytonas in the span, but no underneath seating. Weird thing was the 97 wad a small seat and the 99 had no seat.
The motors were souped up as well and I was concerned about the insurance rates. I have read b4 about a HP factor with ins companies.
V's are much better family boats IMO. More storage!
I stated something to Andy about the 25, but never got an answer.
Also, An opinion on models of V's and cats would be appreciated. I've seen some 25' Eliminator V's and Force Offshore cats in the price range, but are they worth it?
BTW, the range is 60 to 70K
