“This Pacific Northwest builder releases its largest outboard model yet, the C128 Flybridge. The project was inspired by an existing Aspen owner who loved the Aspen C120 inboard’s ride but wanted the redundancy of twin engines when offshore and was ready to try outboards. The C128 has an LOA of 43 feet, 6 inches with a 13-foot, 11-inch beam. It rides on Aspen’s signature asymmetrical hull, which delivers straight tracking and a comfortable ride with less resistance than a typical catamaran, reportedly offering 70 percent more roll stability with 50 percent less carbon impact. The C128 is reportedly the first boat in its category to offer 600 square feet of deck and living space. The salon offers 360-degree panoramic views. Below the dinette is a queen-size guest stateroom, and below the galley is a second guest stateroom with a twin berth. Forward is a full-width primary stateroom. Twin 300-hp Suzuki outboards should push this model to a cruise speed of 18 to 20 knots. Fuel economy at 16 knots is expected to be 12 gph. The boat has a reported range of about 260 nautical miles.”
