Thanks guys.

Fully concur with the cost of owning a boat thing.

I always justify it by the amount of fresh fish I catch.

Buy your fish at the market takes about 1/2 hr and costs $18 - $25 per kg.
($9 - $11 per lb.)

Go fishing - take all day and costs about $100 per kg.

Logical to me - besides what man doesn't need a floating shed where the missus is off limits.

Boat is a bit unusual, but a basic catamaran design.
Extremely stable to fish from, and bullet proof in heavy seas.
I have seen a promo video where they actually ran a chainsaw down the centre line of the vessel. The 2 halves floated without any trouble.

30.4 kts flat out, cruises all day at about 25 kts.
I have owned it since 1988 and it has gone through all the kids things - fishing, kneeboarding, inner tubes, sking, sheeing, and now back to plain old fishing again.
