cruising catamaran wanted - 100.000 euro max.

[flobro]

hello everybody,
we are looking for a cruising cat around 40 ft, ideally from a retiring liveaboard owner couple. the more equipped for independence the better.
ok to be a few years old, but no major repairs please.

we have been looking at some prout snowgoose, which are available in our price range, but still want to look around a bit more.

we are very flexible about the location, so any offers will be appreciated. you can contact us directly by mail: orleyflo@gmx.at ( orleyflo@gmx.at ).

looking forward to receiving tipps or offers from anywhere (-:

That budget is a bit low for a 40' catamaran. You'd probably be much better off looking at 35-37' catamarans, given your budget. Where would you be sailing this boat and what kind of sailing/passages would you be making on her.

Another choice would to look at older trimirans. You might find a one off for less money. but finding a production with your budget is going to be being in the right place at the right time with cash in hand. Not impossible, but most likely improbable........i2f

100,000 = 142,000 US$ . Yacht World has 3 pages of cats from 100,000 to 150,000 US 30-50 feet.

Yes, but what shape are the 40'+ boats in...not very good shape for most of them. Catamarans are not inexpensive boats to purchase or commission.
