Default What about me?

to soon to tell, we are kinda up in the air about what type of boat we will
get
I like sailing and my husband likes power boats so who knows.


The only way to get somebody who prefers power boats
(presumably to go fast)is to put them in a small tippy
hi-performance boat.

After we get
our
new house and find out what area we will land in then its looking again for
a dock
but yes we prefer a cat over a single hull. But if John wants a power boat
thats ok
to. IF we get a power boat it will be 30-40 ft. i am kind of worried about
the cost of
the fuel to run the dang thing lol. with that in mind I pray for a cat :P

Speed costs. Our boat, which is only marginally faster than
a sailboat of the same size, burns 2gph and dockage costs
more than fuel. OTOH a smaller express cruiser might easily
burn upwards of 20gph...

Maybe one of the faster cruising cats would be a good
compromise?
