[C320-list] Should I buy a C320?

[Scott Thompson]

So what does it cost to berth one of those in South Florida or San 
Francisco, assuming you can find a slip?  I would imagine that total 
cost of ownership goes up substantially for a cat, and that the initial 
purchase is only a fairly small part of the cost.  If this were not the 
case I would expect to see lots of cats on the Chesapeake, where thin 
water abounds.  In fact there are many more monohulls than multihulls in 
the Annapolis region.
