Reply to: Looking to purchase a beach cat!! Need help!!

Message body

[quote=BboatB]I´m stealing the thread a bit, seems like I would have typed the same subject anyway!

I´m also looking in to buying a cat, and I have some options. Living in sweden and I think the market for cats here are a bit smaller then in the Us.

I would like to have it for som fast and exciting crusing and raiding basically. Do some camping and at the same time meeting up with friends and just sail for fun.
Me and my girlfriend together about 260 lbs, but it would be nice to be able to take on one more passenger.

The cats that are for sale in my area:

Nacra 5.5- Basically the nacra 5.5 seems to be the best option, looks better and this one also have a trailer. Look modern and I read somewhere that the nacras have a bit more volume in the hulls?

Nacra 6.0- Same as above but with more volume,+ for  crusing-camping and no trouble for carrying that extra person. But will I be able to handle it alone?

Hobie 18- Classic but the nacra 5.5 seems better and more modern?

Hobie 17- Lets skip the guest and only sail it with two persons. Nice with wings for longer sailing trips, but is it still to much weight?

Thx for replys!
