Interesting, that is almost exactly what I was imagining.
I just cant still see how you get the same stability.
Don't you have to have the seat above the waterline to try and get the cockpit to self drain?
I'm sure I sit on the seat on a sit in such that my behind is below the waterline.
I wish I could see a section cut at the seat.

I would have assumed you need more beam to get equal stability.
