Hello,
I lost my terrific Catalina 22 to Sandy. I'm looking for a new boat and have about 5 grand to spend. I am willing to put some work into something. I was thinking for a minute that I might go the route of a Pontoon boat - nice and easy, good on gas - because the club I'm in has a 22 foot S2 that I can take out whenever I want. BUT, I am worried that I'll miss my sailboat.
What I was thinking is the best of both worlds. I've seen a few 26/27 foot Catamarans out there (many home built), but they seem pricey, even the used ones.
Does anyone know of a fairly popular model Catamaran with even a small cabin that falls into this admittedly low price range?

Might also find a Tramp; small triamaran. Maybe an old Hobie 21 Sport Cruiser and a boom tent...
