There are probably 50 or more small cats that meet those needs images of small catamaran folding - Bing images...
Might look at the Bolger boats, there are several low powered river cruisers, you might like a Birdwatcher cabin. :)
Nice Strawler, trim tabs might help, ask a designer/engineer about proas mounted aft for a flatter ride when needed. You could go for a smaller...
I take it back, a boat like that deserves proper hatches, might do one poly and build a fitting teak inlaid hatch and make it pretty....
Now is a great time to start building those pontoons, in the mean time fill it with tractor inner tubes. Ike is right, get a pro to check it out,...
What do the hatches go to or where are they located? In the long run I'd go for ply and glass. If you need to see out why does the poly sheet need...

I can see that this spiral hasn't gotten far from the first page, but I have the perfect name for the boat......."Deathwish" :)
Good stuff here......well, seems we had the same idea of hauling a motorcycle on a boat for the Great Loop, that was years ago and the idea was...

A few years ago I had the same idea of doing the loop with a motorcycle on board a catamaran, you should have seen the responses I got, LOL. I...
I assume you have access holes. Go to Harbor Freight, buy small inner tubes for riding lawn mowers, stuff those in there and air them up, might...
