8 bodies on a 19 foot boat? The vests alone should take up quite a bit
of
space.

I'd never give up my bowrider for a cuddy for anything. It depends
on
what
you want to do with your boat. If you're into recreational fair
weather
boating then there is not much advantage to a cuddy. It will reduce
the
number of passengers you can carry because no one will want to be in
it
while under way or while sitting. Every small boat I've been in
with a
cuddy and it has looked like someones hall closet. I can easily
have 8
adults and kids in my 19 ft runabout bowrider.

wondering is if the cabin gets really hot when you are not
moving?
==============================

Yes, the cuddy will get hot. It has other advantages however:

- A place to stow gear out of sight and out of the weather.

- A modicum of privacy for the port-a-pot.

- More sea worthy in the heavy stuff.

- Enclosed bunks for the occassional night aboard or spontaneous
sports activities. :-)
