I would not buy a trihull for anything but a small lake without any waves or
wakes. They are ok for flat water only, in any kind of chop they pound
unbelievable and you will need to slow down to a crawl.

Amen. I had a 16' trihull with a Merc 65 outboard in 1969. It was a great
boat for our young family and neighbors, fishing and waterskiing: lots of
space inside due to the flat floor. But we could only enjoy it when the
water was calm. If there was any chop, not only did it pound, but we got
soaked from the spray. Once the bow came up on plane there was nothing but
flat bottom to smack the water's surface.

Thanks guys for all the input.

Even though i thought the tri-hull was reasonably priced. it should
have a different owner....but not me.

It is a TRUE Tri-hull, with a tobogan like nose, and after looking at
my brothers today, there IS a big difference. My brothers evidently is
a "modified" wich is like a V with wings, instead of the twin tunnels.
No wonder his would be smoother.

But even though "gas hogs" I would like to have a moderately big
outboard some time . 85-145 hp.

Thanks again!
