Regarding the layout of the 38 ft King Cat.
Starboard and forward is the main cabin with a queen-sized bed set at
an angle to maximise "crawling" space on either side.
Not a true island bed. An optional small en-suite can be fitted to
this cabin.
Starboard rear another queen cabin. Crawl-over type.
Port front 2 single bunks.
Port rear another toilet/shower.
What's impressive about this boat is the roominess of the saloon... a
very high roof line.
The flybridge is also large.
In all, this is a tall boat with a fair amount of windage.

The main controls are at the flybridge, with just throttles and an
auto-pilot control below.
Being Steyer motors, the controls are electronic.
The first boat had 166 HP motors.
I particularly like these motors because they are more torquey and
slower revving.
The next boat will have 256 HP Steyers.
Perhaps they need the extra power because of the windage I referred
to or for the extra weight of the overhang.

I did notice that there was an electronic keypad on the flybridge.
I'm not sure what function it controls. Scott could answer better.

Other than the comprehensive photos on their web site I haven't seen
others.
I'm sure some of the new boat will be eventually coming as the new
rear is stunning, save for the reservations I expressed in my first
post on this subject.
