I currently sail a Catalina wing keel 270 with a draft of only 3.5 ft. Shallow huh...but alas the entrance to my bayou is only slightly over 2 ft. this time of year. For this reason I keep her in Panama City at a nice deep slip. I'd love some input on other boats with even less keel but big enough for a family of 4 to spend long weekends together and not kill each other by Sunday. I'd like to stay monohull but for obvious reasons, a cat is an option!! Thanks folks and stay warm and safe, Bill
