Default On Trend—In Praise Of The Eight-Seat Movement

High-performance catamaran builders from MTI to DCB have embraced the eight-seat cockpit layouts, https://speedonthewater.com/on-trend...seat-movement/.

The walk around on a 3600 is fantastic and I could , or I should say have fit myself in the gunnel, tons of storage room in there that things get lost.... but I wish I had a wider cockpit.
Those 8 seats are great, the 4 front passengers are under the windshield and not getting blasted by wind.That`s the biggest plus in my book.

Very true. I just rode in an eight-seat 38 Valor catamaran today—it has a two-by-two by four-seat layout. The rear seats? Eye-watering windy. The front four? We were carrying on a conversation at 110 mph. Just amazing.

it is very cool, and it runs well. I don’t like the paint job at all, way too much fake carbon going on with it. But that’s why there are options cause everyone likes something different.
