Really want a catamaran...anyone on here have one or experience on them?

I fish with a guide in Bay St. Louis who's got a 26 Twin Vee- awesome set up- can run it in the marsh and looks like you could still run offshore with it. Roomy, really stable, nice ride, and the Twin Vees (in that size) go for about $60K- so I think it's a good value also.

They have what looks like at least a 24' catamaran for sale on the way to Dularge/Falgout Canal FYI. Not sure if that's one of the ones you're looking at already though. Also forgot what brand it is, but it's been there for a couple, maybe a few months, now so he'd probably let it go for cheap if he's motivated.

I had a 22 seacat way back when. We constantly had water in the boat as the deck was not high enough/crowned to drain to the scuppers.

Moved up to a 26 glacier bay. Much nicer, deck was much better. Did have a scupper hose come loose and fill one hull that was pretty scary.

Both were slow. Both had trouble in a following sea as described above. Ride was great for passengers in following or side seas, but as the captain, a little uncomfortable as the natural tendancy to turn in response to waves is opposite in a cat.

Have moved on to a 28 ft monohull.
