Interesting... but what is holding that cat up? It appears to be resting on just the two keels... and I'd think that it'd be rather tippy if you're enot careful. I'd think you'd want some sort of safety stands supporting the bow and sterns of the hulls.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Looks like it is also resting in the rear on the rudders!

I see they carefully matched the car to the boat, that is a boat right ?

What's the cat sheltering anyway, an '80 Impala with fading paint and disintegration "vinyl" roof?
They ought to make a garage out of old Impalas to shelter the boat, it'd be cheaper.... |

Dawg, Looks like the boat has 2 inboard diesels, so they probably supply enough weight in the rear to keep the thing from tipping over.

True, but would you want to bet on that... all it'd take is some teenagers goofing around...and the thing could easily tip... just imagine four or five teens hanging off the seagull striker... THUD. Huge lawsuit... better safe than sorry IMHO.
