It wouldn’t have to be anything fancy just something to putt around the lake with. The hulls are fiberglass and they are in very good shape. I think that this would be possible so if anyone knows how to do this or where I could look for plans, I would like to hear from you. Thanks!

What are the advantages and disadvantages of designing a ship with a catamaran hull versus a conventional monohull?

I am not concerned with sailboats using catamaran hulls, but rather, actual full-blown ships using the design (specifically warships).
