Hi Slayer-
I did not read the above but to answer your question go for the multihull. I chartered one for the first time last fall and it was fun. A few hints that I discovered, To Tack, have some speed and back the head sail once you are on the new tack and moving forward switch the head sail to the correct side; therefore no motor needed to tack.
The multihull had a twin screw so for motoring in tight spots, lock the steering wheel and steer with the two throttles, it is just like driving a zero turn mower. Have Fun, which is the only way to sail and spend time in Key West!
