After more than twenty years of cruising Florida waters and the Bahamas, we
have decided to make a change. We put our Defever 49RPH on the market this
week and we are ready to settle on the next vessel.

We expect to tow the cruiser to remote locations and enjoy the lakes,
rivers and the Pacific coast. Perhaps some on this list have made this
change or have considered the possibilities.

Naturally a catamaran hull is the only real solution. To be a real cruiser
it must have real living accomodations, although more of a camping
experience than our Defever. There must be a head, shower, galley, eating
accomodations, permanent sleeping accomodations and reasonable tankage.

To be reasonably towable, the bare hull must weigh less than 7500 lbs dry
with engines. It will probably be less than 28 ft long and have a beam
around 8 ft. I expect very shallow draft.

The only cats that I have seen that possibly meet these requirements are by
C-Dory and Glacier Bay. If you can suggest others, let me know.

Thanks for the lead. The only cat model I found on their web site was the
Pacific 3200. At 32X12'10 ft it is too big for a trailer.
