Interesting posting. Might be good for parts if nothing else.

I may be picking it up for the rudder system. If anyone has any interest in the hulls and cross beams let me know.

God, who came up with that. More weight, more wetted area, and the same righting moment

If the outside hulls were small amas instead of full sized hulls this could make a decent platform for a small tri. If it had a hard deck instead of a tramp and a small outboard it could be a flats boat. It would probably be pretty fast even without much power. Could be an interesting project in the right hands.

yes it could be a lot of things - currently it is a raft or floating dock or at best, a dolly to drag your gear to an island with
