Intercat 1500 Catamaran (28 Footer)

[bocasdeltoro]

hey fellow multihullers. iam looking for a intercat 1500, but am having trouble finding one.

my biggest mistake was not purchasing this boat over spring!
1990 Endeavour InterCat 1500 Catamaran - Boats.com

it was listed for 44k on that site, but he had it listed for 35k on craigslist. i didnt have the funds at the time, but im sure the guy settled for 30-35k and it seemed the boat was in good condition. so mad i didnt have the money.

anyways, i took several years off after high school and am moving back to fort lauderdale, florida for college soon. i really hate paying rent and getting nothing in return, so i figure i could get a sailboat and live aboard, while going to school for the next 3-4 years. would love to do some bahama trips when im off for summer and winter vacation.

does anyone have experience with a intercat 1500? the thought of getting a cat under 50k would be so sweet.

i realize its not something i could cross the atlanic or pacific with, but my plans would be to maybe eventually island hop the caribbean. im wondering what your thoughts are of a intercat making it to panama from south florida? head from key west, cross the yucatan to mexico, then hop the coasts of mexico, belize, guatemala, honduras, nicaragua, costa rica, then boom bocas del toro?

if school ended up not working out, then i need a backup plan, which would be coming back to bocas del toro. maybe be a surf, fishing, and sailing bum for a few more years, while having a sailboat lol.

sorry for the rambling...my main objective is finding a catamaran for under 50k. i always liked the intercat 1500. so if anyone has opinions or has owned one, then i would love to hear your responses. GRACIAS

There is a 30' Endeavor cat for $38,000 on Craigslist. It was in the space coast Florida section. I think it's pretty much the same design as the Intercat 1500 but 2 foot longer.
