I've got the G-Cat 5.7M that is just about perfect for me. I can do everything concerned with that boat (trailer, rig, launch, recover, etc) without assistance.

I bought a '74 Seafarer 24 monohull to cruise on (picture attached). I wanted something I could take from Tampa Bay to the Keys, Bahamas, etc. I've had it two years and it's still sitting on the trailer because I ****** the gelcoat up trying to prep it for painting.... Anyhow I'm waiting to get it re-gelcoated. I'm going to either rent a slip or put it on a mooring. The thing I like about this boat the most... actual marine head!

I've considered selling them both to buy a Reynolds Cat 21. It would be a good compromise in speed/fun and storage/bunkspace and sea-keeping ability. The one hang-up with this is.... how do I cat-track a 1000# beach-cat uphill to it's spot in front of the sand-dune? I sometimes have trouble with the 400# G-Cat! Oh yeah- it doesn't have a real marine head, but I think I could rig up something comparable... or just get used to a porta-potti
