On the other hand, my family's first catamaran was a Shark, which was probably 600 pounds, and weight was never a problem, because we always launched either from a ramp or from a hoist. Nobody ever had to lift anything.
It was not until we got into beach cats, with people launching from a beach, that boat weight seemed to become a problem. And people weight, too. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
