[PCW] The popularity of Catamarans

[Tim Askins]

Gram,
A chappie me may be but lucky he's not. My math has 946 sq. ft. X's 0.80 per
is $756.80 x's 12 months $9081.60 per year. In S.C. I pay $400.00 a month for
my 47 ft Venturer in a marina that only has side tie, thus no real motive to
penalize a cat. On the linear scale <$10 a ft. by the sq ft = $0.47 or $4800
annually.
