[PCW] The popularity of Catamarans

[Tradesure]

Jonah,
           It is not only the slips you must consider.

           All small marina's that own travel lifts have the base model
           which has a beam to lift boats up to 16ft.

           Thereafter, the next hoist level is beams 22ft/24ft , which is 
more
           expensive to use and not found in any smaller marina's, 
especially in the
           inland waterways as I found out when we delivered an Aventure 43 
once
           we hit logs.
           With a beam of 15.85 we did not have a problem.

           Tim
