Here's my two cents...

For the same money, you might want to consider going for a high-end deep-V like a Grady White, Sea Ox, Boston Whaler, Wellcraft, etc... with dual outboards. I suggest this because with the twin hull boats you lose the prime reason to spend the extra $$ for twin engines which is the reliabilty & safety factor. The CAT hulls do not function on a single engine should one engine fail.

Why spend all that money and still not have the piece of mind that you should come with the extra $$ ? Having twin engines should be a luxury, not a necessity.

If you want to be convinced, go to a dealer that sells catamaran hulls and ask them to show you how the boat performs on just one engine. They are like a helicopter with no tail. Then test a deep V hull with one engine running.

Think about it...

You are very welcome.

I'm not sure what else you need to consider. I do know that whenever I watch offshore racing on TV, it's always the cats that flip over. I think it has something to do with the wind tunnel under the boat. Then again, how fast are you really going to cruise? Let us know how what you discover at Tobay.
