I've been doing some research on various powerboat catamarins and have

higher than a monohull.

Anybody know why?

More fiberglass, more complicated hull and top mold, more willingness on
the part of fewer buys to spend bigger bucks.


I'm wondering if they are worth it. They are supposedly more fuel efficient
and stable, but if you have to spend 50k extra, then is it worth it?

For now, I'm not in the market, content with my 25 foot cruiser. In 10
years, my wife and I want to cruise the Great Loop. Hopefully then, the
pre-own market will be lower.
