power catamarans

[spiros]

I am looking to buy a power catamaran 50-63 f , and its my first buy. Usually i sail around Greece on a charter SAILING catamaran lagoon 40-44 or a fountain bajot salina48. I have no experience on power catamarans , and i do not no about the fuel consumption for these size boats . I have seen lagoon 63 and sunreef 60 ,any ideas or any other options?

Privilege have re-launched their power cat range in the last year. Haven't seen anything other than cgi http://www.privilege-marine.com//upl...horia_4735.pdf but I imagine one or two will have been launched by now. 50ft and 60 ft available. Won't be cheap but will probably be the best built.

Might want to look at the Leopard 51PC. I have toured one (and going for a ride soon) - quite comfy and nice enough for the Admiral to be interested in learning more about them.

As for the fuel economy, I want to say that we were told it would easily transit from New England to Ft Lauderdale on a tank if you stayed at cruise (which was 8 knots, I think) and that the tankage was 400 gallons.

Good luck!
