    Maugan,
    Yes, I am a catamaran sailor, I have a Hobie 21se, It can really fly. We were clocked by a kid on a jet ski, he said we were going 30 mph, he couldn't believe it. It is 13 1/2 feet wide, so when you fly a hull you are really flying. It is going to look great behind my Ironman. I also have an International 470 and a Laser, but I never sail them--they are great for the kids.
    What do you sail? Hullraiser

    Well, I picked up the Ironman today.
    He threw in a new CD player that plays MP3s and they fixed the window, but it still isn't working good, so it is going back until it does.
    I got nervous and bought a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty, just in case.
    The carpet looks like new and so does the upholstery. It looks close to new.
    I was concerned about gas mileage so I filled it up and drove it 21.3 miles, it took only .8 gallons to fill it up again, I was blown away.
    I asked about it burning oil, but he didn't know anything and I couldn't see any oil leaks, I will have to wait and see on the oil usage.
    I appreciate everyone's help, I can't wait to start fixing it up. I may enter it in an car show, no one I know even knew what it is, it should stir up some interest at a car show.

    Congratulations!

    I also sail, I have a 1968 16ft O'day ospray, it's just like a daysailer, but a foot shorter. Lasers are fun, and I sailed a 16ft hobie in Cozumel a few months ago, very fun.
