Well not necessarily...the Tennessees are totally untroubled by the
Goolwa browncaps: these aren't full-blown lake chop but are more than
big enough to send the waterskiers home and get rid of the bigger
powerboats due to hammered spines and pulped kidneys. The long slim
boats stretch over three or four crests.

Jeff and Michael,
An old Common Sense Design catalog I have lists a Bolger boat
called "Fishcat", a 15' 9" x 6' 9" plywood power catamaran with
a capacity of four adults designed for use with a 15 to 25 hp
outboard. PB&F probably still has plans available for this vessel,
