Ok, I spoke to Larry Polster of Krogen Yachts about a few of the
questions initially. I'm sure one of them can jump on and answer the
questions if we want.
1) The hull construction is identical to the 58, 48, 44, and 39.
2) The boat uses the same hull design(canoe shaped).
3) The reasons given for the twins are that a single with a get home
engine have:
a) Less Draft(about a foot less)
b) More speed in the event of a engine failure
c) better stability in a following sea.
d) just in case you want to know the boat is Triple skegged.
4) In answer to John of Seahorse's comment the boat has active
stabilizers.
5) I believe they have already sold at least two sight unseen(I heard
that a month or so ago) so it may be many more by now.
6) As of now I believe the flybridge is not a option.
FYI, I think the boat looks much like the 48 whaleback but updated
and much better looking. In fact one of the sales guys of Krogen
jokingly refers to it as a "Uber Whaleback".
