Correct me if I'm wrong, but small, powered catamarans/twin hulls are
nothing new, right?

Yep, you're right ... they have been made before, but I haven't found
plans for any. And this does give me a chance to work out plans
myself with advice from someone who has toyed with the concept quite a
bit.
