I like the idea of a stable trimaran. But I know nothing about these boats.

That's not much to go on. What kind of sailing do you do? Where? Size range? Budget?
I just missed out on a cal 36 cruiser at 1300. I want around 35ft. Project like my other tread says. And budget is key word that's why I am looking at auctions
A low price boat at auction on eBay is, almost by definition, a serious project boat. These boats almost always take more time and money to refit than expected. There is a reason they are so cheap.
A boat that is a perfect fit one person might be the worst possible choice for another. Without knowing much about you, your skills, your ambitions, your time, your finances, and so on, we can't give any reasonable advice.

The boat was designed by Arthur Piver who was an early designer of multi-hull boats and a wanna be long distance racer. He designed the tri that Donald Crowhurst sailed in the Golden Globe around the world race, his fate was well documented.
Looking at the HIN (CFZ4091KF200), the ebay boat is a home built boat built in California. Probably from one of Piver's designs.

That one looks awfully rough. Bilge Keel boats have 2 keels.
These boats can get closer to shore and in the case of a shallow bay can sit on the bottom during tidal low water. The Boat in the book about the British sailor was a bilge keel boat.
They sail fine down wind or off the wind, but are not usually great up wind sailers.

I have read that...but the fact I can beach at high tide to do things like scrap hull or swap out a fitting is very nice
In order to take advantage of the twin keels and drying out, you have to be in a place with a large tidal range, probably 10 feet or greater. These boats are popular in the UK because they have a very large tidal range. If you have a 4 foot range, by the time the boat is dry enough to work on, the tide is coming back in.
I'm looking to bid on this. But how would I get a motor on it?1968 Snapdragon 29 | eBay
