George The message you said I tried to send (see below) was not what I sent to you.

Looks like he tried to post an attachment in HTML. Mike, and everyone, please post messages in plain text, addressing them to Power Catamaran List <power-catamaran@lists.samurai.com>. Avoid fancy formatting, RTF and HTML as they cause problems somewhere in the pipeline. Here is the text of what Mike wanted to post: My wife and I studied the layouts of all the major players making catamarans in the U.S.,Europe,South Africa, and Australia. We have always wanted a master suite you can get in and out of the berth from both sides. Having previously being sailors we never liked the berths where you climbed over each other or entered the bottom of the berth. Our intent is to live on this boat for 8 months out of the year and we wanted creature comforts. We visited two factories in the U.S.. and selected the Endeavour 44. Manta had too wide of a beam and didn't have a berth for entering both sides. We believed the construction of the Endeavour and Manta are very similar. Shouldn't be surprised at this since Endeavour at one time built the Manta catamarans. Judy said this is the boat after we visited Endeavour. Endeavour offered a complete boat. Options were available but these were few. The Endeavour 44 doesn't have balsa wood or marine plywood as part of the construction. Loved the construction of an Endeavour. Having the propellers protected in a tunnel was another plus. The draft of 36 inches is also nice. The 4.5 gallons per hour at 8 knots is a bonus over a standard mono hull trawler with twin engines. Some of the Power Cats had a flying bridge with no steering below. This is not good when you run into foul weather unexpectedly. Price of the Endeavour 44 we also thought you got more value. We would be glad to report on the Endeavour 44 as we do the Great Circle Loop. We will be able to complete the Great Circle Route thru the Erie Canal by having an air draft not exceeding 15ft. 3 inches. We communicate with the owners of an Endeavour 44 named Peacekeeper. They picked the boat up in March of 05 and have had no issues with the boat on the way up to Michigan via the Intracoastal waterway and thru the Welland Canal.
