Every boater is aware that Australians and New Zealanders know their boats. And catamarans aren't ugly to them: despite a much smaller population, there are four times more power catamarans in Australia and New Zealand than there are here. They know that the smoothness of the ride, especially in their infamously rough water, is superior to any monohull's.

Cats are incredibly simple to operate: once you learn the basics of keeping a proper trim you'll be 90% of the way to being an expert. Experienced boaters will tell you that learning to drive a catamaran was easy...and they'll never go back to a monohull.

Cats are extremely stable and have been compared to barges with their flat surface on a dual hull design.

The average cat boat owner has owned 7 or more offshore boats. They have the experience and know their bodies cannot take the pounding of a mono-hull. They also keep their cats longer than they kept their mono-hull. When they buy a new boat they most likely will buy another cat

High demand for used boats and limited supply since customers keep cats longer keeps used boat prices high
