That's because of all the used Moorings rental boats 
In Response To: Many of them now have more than one hull

() There are a hell of a lot of used rental boats (I don't call them charter boats) that are being purchased for a good price. Must be hundreds. perhaps thousands of catamarans that are no longer useful in the rental trade and have found they're way into the market. A glitzy catamaran on a 7 day BVI cruise is one thing, Living and cruising on one that was specifically manufactured for rental is altogether different.
To me they're like driving a bus.

- The old idea of bluewater offshore boats, has kinda, gone away.
- Only the 'geometry' has changed
- Beefier hardware.
- Many of them now have more than one hull
- That's true. I'm seeing more multi hulls all the time.
