Which supercat

[Krakie]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to boating and having read so much up I'm looking for a Supercat.
Initially I'll use it mostly in Langebaan Lagoon, but after I am comfortable who knows.
So far I have 3 options:
1. Supreme 530 executive
2. Supercat 520 cc
3. Supercat 620 classic

The 530 is in immaculate condition but have etec's which get mixed reviews.
The 520 has Suzuki lean burns 50hp 4 strokes.
The 620 has Yamaha 70hp 2 strokes.

I like the 530 but am weary of the motors.
The 520 seems like the sensible choice and the 620 will be overkill for the Lagoon, but probably a bit more future proof should I choose to venture further out.
Also willing to consider motor upgrades in a few years, if my usage warrants it.

I know there's many factors, like price, hours on motors, extras to name a few.

Any other advice on what to look out for?
I do have cat C skippers but never owned a boat, my plan is probably to use it exclusively at the Lagoon or out the mouth for at least a year.

Sorry only saw your post now. So which 1 did you go for?

I liked the 530 but the etecs steered me away from the purchase.
I was going for the 620 but the owner ghosted me for a while, during this time I found a Seacat 16ft with 4 strokes and ended up purchasing it.
Either while closing the purchase or shortly after purchasing it, the 620 owner made contact again. I assumed he had a higher offer and waited to see how that worked out, but I made an alternative purchase anyway.

Preffered the Supercat but have my first boat now and will see what the future holds.

Congrats on the new boat, once the bug has bitten there is no going back. Many safe sea miles mate!
