[PCW] Manta - was Endeavour cat

[SnoDogPDQ@aol.com]

Not only is the Manta good looking, it's also very  fuel efficient.  From 
what I've heard, consumption at speed is about  half that of the Endeavour 44.
 
Because there so many things to consider when choosing a boat, each  person's 
list of priorities will inevitably result in different  choices.  For us, the 
appearance and efficiency of the Manta  44 were strong positives, but the 
wide beam, lack of flying bridge and  price were negatives.
 
At the Annapolis Boat show last fall, I took a photo of all the powercats  
lined up (which can be seen at: www.geocities.com/snodoglog/Manta44.html )  and 
I made the comment: "the yellow-hulled  Manta 44 comports itself rather well 
in this line-up".  Even  though  we're now PDQ owners, I devoted a whole page 
to the Manta because I think it is  a very creditable design - certainly 
deserving of consideration by any  serious powercat buyer.

I guess Rod forgot  the Manta 44 when he stated the Endeavourcat was "the only
game in  town".
