Thanks for the reality check, Rod. Before I became enamored of powercats I looked into a variety of "interesting" boats. One that proves your point was a 50' tunnel drive motoryacht with a mere 2' - 2" draft (built by Covey I Boatworks in Canada). Imagining all the places we could go with that shoal draft I tracked the boat and took a look. It was a gorgeous small yacht and it cost the owner just under 1 million dollars to build. Three years later, it was on the market for $550K. I later heard he'd ended up taking under $400 for it. Incidentally, it did have only one master suite - although there were a couple of sailboat-like v-berths tucked way up in the bow. This was about the time I realized that powercats offer a lot of room for their size. I believe our little PDQ 34 has more usable space than that custom 50-footer - and almost the same shallow draft!
