I am considering buying a 25 foot dual console World Cat.  I understand it
has semi - displacement hulls and such hulls are sensitive to the outboard
motor position.  I read for the boat to handle and turn properly the motors
must be offset from the center line by 4 degrees and many dealers don't do
this alignment correctly.

I welcome the advice of the group regarding the World Cat, this particular
model, engine alignment or any other comment that would be useful.  I am new
to all this being a monohull sailor.

Thanks,

Dale
