    Hello, I am interested in purchasing a 7.5m aluminium catamaran. It was apparently built to an Australian design and has a Volvo 200HP sterndrive situated in between the two hulls as in the photo. Is this a good design as it looks to me like its causing a lot of resistance by blocking most of the space between the hulls? Thanks
