After 40+ years in monohulls, my next boat will be a cat. Softer ride, better fuel economy and less draft. In smaller cats, the roll can be a bit
snappy, but that is a small negative against all the other positives.

Like all boats, a cat will lay in the trough when drifting. Small boats, cats especially, have a quick rolling motion in the trough, I find that
uncomfortable.
Bear in mind that most of my boating has been in deep-draft full displacement boats, trollers, and tug-shaped stuff. They roll deeply, but slowly.
It's what I'm used to....

your weight light and low

I think it depends on the sea state. A small monohull boat will roll MORE then the oceans movement, a cat should move the SAME amount. But it might be
a little more jerky.
All that in mind, I will still be looking for a cat when we sell our current boat.
What size rig do you have, capt? Attach a pic, if possible.

The problem with power cats is too little beam (for trailering) a 26' sailing cat has a 17' beam, plus they are slow and lose cabin space.
