As a youngster my Dad had a Couger cat- Fast (compare to the local mono's) and a firehose dousing when the breeze came up. Same type of solid bridgedeck as the Shark. The deck being lower than the hull decks made for a comfortable seating arrangement.
I like the idea of a family cat that is 20x10 that you can fold to trailer. Add a squaretop and spin, a trap...
And wood boats are sweet.
