I have been building multi hulls , specifically double outriggers since
the mid 60's

Built the Catfisher 34 which was a displacement Catamaran with twin
diesels and used for  Long Line fishing.  Was destroyed in Carabelle FL
by a Hurricane.

Built the CEE CAT 14 and 17 which was a power cat with a 1/2" thick
lexan panel in the wing in the 14 ft version and a flats boat in the
17.  the 17 with a 40 HP did a 31 mph .

Currently own the PT-32 which was an experiment with a Power Trimaran
that could be singlehanded inexpensively around the great Loop.  Started
with the 40 HP and got 12 cruise.  Put a 100 hp on it and did 18
cruise.  Is 8 1/2 ' beam so trailerable. The Catfisher was 18 ft beam.

Did some design studies for  the Working waterman concept for  a Coral
Cat 40  and did the plans for a 50 ft Cat for Brazil but the  potential
builder went bust.

The PT-32 is on the water but not being used <BG> and for sale.  Nothing
to do with design but personal issues.
