What traps are there to look out for when selecting?
Alloy or fibreglass?
Inboard or outboard powered?
Just dreaming of what to buy next...

I can not provide any
advice on a 9 to 11 meter catamaran. My
current sailing catamaran is 18 meters. My catamaran is an incredible
boat, love her to pieces. She is easy to move. Sometimes it is hard to find marina slips, because she's a it wide.
As for alloy (metal/aluminum) vs
fiberglass is one probably a preference. Personally, if I was cruising in waters with
logs and debris in the
water, I'd prefer a allow
hull -- rather would like dents than cracks.
Inboard vs outboard. I know nothing about outboards. Our
Volvo Penta D3-110 engines (inboard) have been amazing. Reliable. Easy to maintain. Quiet. Enough
power. 1.5 gallons/hour per
engine cruising at 6-7 knots.
Good luck
