<p>We (Taunya and I) have studied the Tiki 46 Study plans and read absolutely everything and looked at every photo of and about the Tiki 46 that we could find on this site and everywhere else on the Internet, but we have some more questions.</p>
<p>First and foremost, we would really, really like to see one, but we are disadvantaged by being on the West Coast of the USA, where catamarans of any sort are relatively scarce.</p>

<p>Does anyone know of any on the West Coast that we could see, now or in the foreseeable future?</p>
<p></p>
<p>If not, there is a chance that I might be in Florida sometime in the next six weeks, so if anyone has one there that might work.</p>

<p>Well we decided to build the 46 and i have all winter to wait till i can afford the full plans.</p>
<p>so i figured i would ask folks if they had study plans for sale. Or just information to make preparation easy. jigs and tips for building this boat would be good since the more things i can have made up th better the build will go. </p>
