R Mike Georgs We had a 49 DeFever w/ Stabilizers and a lot of other good stuff. It was a great long distance offshore boat. We cruised for 4 to 5 months a year and have been doing that  each year since 1986. We felt it was time to give up the opean ocean cruising and stick to protected waters. Looked around and decided that we could not give up the stable ride and thus a catamaran. We still wanted the long range, anchor out etc. We talked with many cat boat mfg. and they all said the same thing "no modifications" They said they had "cruising boats"( as long as you did not want to be away from a marina for more than 48 hrs.) Endeavour was the only one that would give me a free hand to make changes. What would  I want? Two Generators, a freezer, a real washer and a real dryer,a 200G/D water maker, an enclosed air conditioned steering station, and stuff like that. I can't say enough good things about the Endeavour people. We spent a year going over the changes we wanted and they did it all, on time and with in my cost estimates. Oh yea they're an American company in Florida that speaks english. Hope that helps R Mike
