Really glad to hear all these different points of view....CATS are preferred due to our location in LA. We keep the boat in Venice and Grand Isle as well. I have good mechanics that can work on anything, but they are CAT approved mechanics and parts are easier to come by, etc.

I also realize that there are CAT engines on boats that are crap, and I steer clear of those as well.

Engines are the reason I'm throwing in the older 54 Bertram into the equation as well as a great ride. I am having difficulty in finding Vikings and Cabos with CAT engines, although there are a few, these are usually newer boats in the 48 size range.

Keep this going please, I am getting great insight.
