Dear Randy and Carol, You areB definitelyB looking at the right type of boat. Only a catamaran could give you this many options. B You did not say whether you prefer inboards or outboards, or stern drives, nor your target use and speed range. B We build both outboard and diesel stern drives version of our Buzzards Bay 34, a fully enclosed pilot house coastal cruiser. B The hulls draft about 20". B Outboards tilt fully out of the water, so the draft remaining is just the hulls. B Stern drives will tilt up, but a portion will still be below the hull. B In sandy bottoms, this will typically not be a big deal. B Our cats are a displacement hull shape, but with full sterns, and our speed range is quite high, we've seen as fast at 44mph. B We are looking at doing a 40 foot version available with outboards and stern drives if your cup of tea is the fast coastal cruiser. B If your interested in straight shaft inboards, there are a number of vessels out there with full protection to there running gear. B You will want to have a full skeg running underneath the prop AND rudder, with the skeg supporting the bottom of the rudder shaft itself. B This area and design needs to be robust. Remember its not just what the bottom conditions are like, but the weather as well. B Is there a wind chop while the tide is dropping, so that the hull could be bouncing as the tide goes out? B How strong is the current? B These are issues you will want to think through. B Also, be aware of where your water pick-ups are, as you will not want these to get clogged with bottom debris. B At the very least, if you go inboard power, certainly be sure your sea-water strainers are located for very easy inspection and cleaning. B As for vessels with this type of protectiion, have a look at Maine Cat, Malcolm Tennant designs, Schionning, and Endeavor and see what you think. B Hope this helps. B Feel free to give me a call, and good luck.
