Obviously we are designing secure handles for the passengers. I will say my passengers will be much more secure with wrap-around and rear facing seating then those not quite smart enough to have secured themselves in the video you refer to.

Plus, I believe, our owners have a bit more common sense anyways. They bought an Active Thunder.

You may call me a liar but I have a photo of a 33 Powerplay with outboards pinned to my wall which pushed me towards this idea. What you see in the rendering is the #1 boat but we are working on two more designs. One as you described and one for the Saturday "fishing crew" and the Sunday "family crew".

Did I really say "fish"?

Pat you are correct. Powerplay built quite a few triple outboard boats with that seat configuration.

Great alternative to the CC craze. A 37 AT with triple 400 Mercs and the new seating layout would be very interesting!!

The OB design certainly maximizes the cockpit area, the enclosed head is another nice feature. I think you will be selling a lot of these. Did I miss it in the article? What is the beam?
