Jonah,
You shouldn't have a problem finding berths along the eastern seaboard.
We have done the ICW between Florida and Norfolk a couple of times
without problems.(65' X 25') We've also been all the way to Baltimore on
the inside and NYC/Boston/Halifax if you feel like going on the outside.
I think NYC was the only place that bumped up our rate based on width.
As far as lifts go, you do have to actually make a couple of calls and
check around. But how often do you haul out anyways.
As an aside, there are some great sandbars in Georgia that you can park
on. With the 6'+ tide, its a great chance to do some bottom cleaning.
We inadvertantly found this out. But thats what skegs are for.
I'd recommend, on the trip north, hop in the gulf stream. You'll shave
300 miles off the trip north, travel 2-3 knots faster, and the fishing is
incredible. It means you'll have to go overnight, but if you have a nice
southerly under 15 knots, it will be beautiful and you're guarenteed to
have a half dozen flying fish on the deck by morning.

I'm picking up an Endeavour 48 next month from the factory (St Pete)
and we will be cruising her up to Delaware over the following three
months.
I'll report back on any slip dramas en route. Its an 18 ft beam.

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

Point taken,
however, on a personal note, I would opt for the beam and extra
space provided.
Hauling a boat is hopefully not a regular occurrence.
I can also report back on any problems (if the forum is interested)
we have with access to suitable travel lifts on our trip North if we
need one at any stage.
Jonah.

Kristine,
There are quite a few manufacturers who come close to what Pat
suggests,
although some power catamarans still have the sail boat look without
the
mast, and the
wide beam with cabins only in the hulls, never using the tunnel
space.
Aventure Powercatamarans build a 48ft power catamaran that looks like
a motorboat, a beam of 15.85 ft, (one dockage only) 3 or 4 proper
double
Cabins,
seperate saloon with seperate dinning, with full headroom engineroom.
They are slowly reaching the point where all Pat's criteria's could
be met.
