re: Looking at purchasing a new off shore type boat.

I owned a world cat 266sf for a couple years and the cat lives up to the hype IMO. Wouldn't even feel the seas ar speed in that boat under 3ft. Also only had a 15" draft with engines up. Paid mid $30's for it and sold it for same price which is definitely something to consider when looking new vs used. Prepare for $80-120k for something new in the 24' range
