GB's are displacement hulls. So they will be the slowest of the 3 types of catamarans (displacement, semi-displacement, planing). They are super stable on the drift and you can put a lot of people on one side with out the typical monohull lean. They will sneeze a bit on the troll but that is easily corrected by adjusting your heading a few degrees. Also cats turn differently then monohulls. They turn more like cars and lean differently. They are squirrely as hell in a following sea and can be hard to control. Catamarans can snap roll if you bury a sponson (not fun). Boat wont flip over. They do ride generally better than any monohull in their class size and dont pound in the chop and slop. Their fit and finish is very good; at least the older ones. Check the wiring as the bilge pumps on some were wired to one battery so if it fails ALL the pumps fail. They are nice boats. Personally a DC satisfies the wife but can make fishing a pain in the ass at times due to the setup. I'd pass myself on this setup if fishing is the primary activity for the boat. I am also looking to buy a catamaran this year.
Good luck.
