I'm stuck on this mission.
http://home.broadpark.no/~tijohann/eve/missions/interceptpiratesmugglers3.html
I need to do it in a Caracal or possibly a Moa. I have low skills so by the time I train for a BC or BS the mission will be over. Is there a fit I can do to finish this mission or are lvl 3s out of reach for cruisers?

Bluntly, level 3s are beyond cruisers until your skills are very good, and by then there is no point as you can fly better ships! Try a bc/bs or an assault frigate. I personally recommend the AF as it is so much more fun, and it also ensures you train certain skills which will be of great benefit in the long run!

Caracal used to be fine for most lvl3 missions. Not sure about the new missions though as its been a while I've flown one. You need to fight ranged with it though as its paper thin.
I'd go with the following setup:
HIGH: 5 x heavy missile launchers (scourge missiles)
No way around this. If you can use heavies, dont fly Caracal.
MED: 10mn Afterburner, kin + therm resist amp, shield booster, shield extender
With good fitting skills you can use a large extender. Other than that you will have to go with med booster and med extender.
LOW: 2 x Ballistic Control System
If you run into power troubles use a Power Diagnostic System. If you are too slow use an overdrive or nanofibre. Nano may work better as Caldari ships are so heavy.
DRONES: 2 x hobgoblin
What you need to do is warp to 50. Start running and open fire on one of the frigates. Deploy drones and attack same target. Should be easy to pick em off one by one.
If you didnt kill the sentries at first try, they should be your primary target as they hit long distances and use all damage types. Warp close enough to fire on em immediately as you get out of warp. With good skills sentries drop with two vollies so you will propably need more. Align to warp as soon as you can and warp out if needed.
DISCLAIMER - I havent done the mission you are asking about. What Im suggesting just a basic fitting and tactics that normally work.

Since you say you have low sps, your only hope to finish the mission is to get someone to run it for you. Ask in local for help, and hope someone trusts you to run it with you. Offer isk/whatever if you really don't want to say no and lose a bit of standing.
That said, stick with lvl 2's in your caracal. I used to do some lvl 3's when I started, and I managed, but I also looked up which ones were hard and avoided them. They are also harder now.
