Matt had to go out of state for a few days, death in the immediate family, I'm sure he will work with you when he gets home.

As far as is the Blade a "Recreational Boat"? Well, like any top end race boat, if you take care of it, it will take care of you. If you drag it up the beach over rocks with no beach wheels, not so much.

What is your experience level with catamarans, and how do you intend to "treat" the boat?
