I've got a 8.5 CC which by the looks of it is the same hull without the 'bathing platform' extensions either side of the outboards.
Its a lightweight boat that doesn't handle heavy weather well at all. I would say its suited to F4 wind and below.
Perfect for mild conditions with loads of seating and clever use of space. We really like ours but only go out in good weather (in the Med).
We have twin 225's which is good for circa 40 knots, and negates the need for a thruster. A single engine version would benefit from a bow thruster.
They are built to a relatively cheap standard but we knew that when purchasing. We've not had any major issues with it over 6/7 years ownership.

I just posted this in another thread - someone was asking about the 8.0WA
"
I also saw at the Boat show the IDEA 80 ( 2022 Idea 80 - Wolf Rock Boat Company )
Looks very similar to the Cap-Camarat / Jeanneau's / Beneteau etc of similar size with the added benefit (s) of being lighter (1999 kg + trailer + engine) and a second double berth under the helm area. I reckon with a 350hp you'd get it under 3000kg which makes it just about towable with a hefty 4x4. I think a lot of the 895 cabin type boats will be over the 3500kg with the engine and trailer.
The Jeaneau / Cap Camerat's need to be a 9m to get that berth - and then you are over the trailable limit. You may not care about any of this - however you seemed to get as much room on their 8m as the others 9m boat, but it was a lot cheaper- it was the same price as the other 8m boats about but seemed to have more room -I confess I forget the price now - but something like £85,000 incl basic engine up to about £100k with a 350 with plenty of kit on - which was more like the price for everyone else's 8m as well - but they only had 2 berths and a smaller toilet and so on....
Just an idea - no connection with the company. "
As I say - no connection with the company - and I haven't driven EITHER in any kind of sea at all - but I did think it represented good "Value" compared to the more established competition...
