[quote=coastrat]a couple of things to think about...
-budget...sale price plus the standard B.O.A.T. unexpected repairs/upgrades.
-trailer sailor or mast up storage? set up time for spin boats off of a trailer is much longer.
-race-to-cruise ratio...are you just having fun or are you an A-type race junkie? how many races a year vs cruising.
-are you ready for a spin? might cause marriage problems!
now time for the "if-then" game.
but remember, the most quoted advise people give to people getting back into cats is...wait for it.... the best boat for the money. you will be somewhat limited on choices so get the best overall boat for the money...sail the crap out of it, and decide later if you are ready to upgrade or downgrade(a modern spin boat in winds can be exciting :-O ! sometimes a little too exciting!!!).
good luck and cheers![/quote]
