Yesterday, I read and excellent catamaran article published in the current issue of Pacific Coast Sportfishing. The article indicated that catamarans are the latest thing for Pacific Coast fisherman, like me, that are interested in large aft fishing areas, excellent ride, fuel economy, stability, and the ability to handle choppy water. The article covered everything from trailerable, to ferries. It covered much of what has already been covered in this forum. However, it is always nice to have things confirmed from other sources.
