The new boats got added at the end of August this year. You do get wetter than with the old boats, but it depends on how full the boat is, whether the weight is evenly distributed, time of day, and chance.
The Pirates boats are designed to hold 4 adults per row, except row 6 which can only have 3. CMs are encouraged to fill the boats as closely to 23 people as possible in order to keep the wait times down. Even if you splilt 2 and 2, many CMs will try to find a party of 2 to fill in with another party of 2. If you don't want them to do so, please speak with the grouper and be polite about it. It's easier to accommodate a request if someone is nice about it. Just don't complain if the line is long because the boats are leaving with empty seats in it.
Thanks for the info. Our our past January trips, there hasn't been a line. I hope that is still the case this coming trip. Hopefully they won't crowd too many in. I prefer to stay dry.
