Question Re V Bottom Driver Set-up

Are any of the manufacturers setting up the seats and throttle-steering in their boats, so that one person can throttle while the other steers?

Similar to cat operation.

Thank you.

Cigarette Gladiator and Outerlimits would be two good choices

OuterLimits for sure and smaller builders like Activator, Superboat, Pantera, etc., would do a custom setup.

Alec, they don't offer the Glad any longer but you can certainley get one built. The "last Gladiator" that Phil (LipShip) had built was stunning and ran close to 120. They are sit down boats and offer no cabin.

That said, I'm sure that they can also put dual throttles on any model; I would guess that Nortech and Outelimits can with the side by side seating arrangement; Cig has also built a couple side by side center steer 39's.
