The problem I see is a skipper who has no idea what is going on with his passengers that are behind him. I won't even entertain 'hanging the boat out' with more than 1 passenger sitting right next to me that I can see. And I will run a little harder if I have 4 but the 2 in back of me are standing and are well positioned behind the bolster and grab handles. And then if I screw up, they are on the floor or worse.
You guys want to pack a family with kids in a go-fast and run you are being careless.
I have no problem saying that when I wanted a family boat for Diane and I and the kids I bought a 21' Malibu Wakesetter. 45 mph WOT. Small block V8. Very nice product that I would recommend to my friends.
And, in closing, an 80 mph bowrider is very good way to destroy somebody's spine. The closer to the back of the boat, the least amount of movement. You won't see AT build this recipe to disaster in the near future. Not even for money.
On the other hand the OB performance boat will give the passengers the least amount of 'bounce' with the cockpit you guys are looking for.

Minivan? not in my life time, but I do have an Excursion 
To say that I`m being careless because I have a family and a fast boat? Thats crap, its called a throttle and guess what I control it.
Whats next I`m being careless cause I take my daughter to school in a sports car?
Baja sold a $hitload of boats for a reason, cause once you see the cockpit you`re sold, not even a 42 Fountain comes close and thats pathetic.
Guess everyone buy according to their needs, I`m not racing around balls out on Lake Michigan all day i`m enjoying the water and sun with family and friends, not being cramped is high on my priority list

I think our cockpit is very adequate. It handles 4 adults very comfortably and 6 with ease.
The problem I see is a skipper who has no idea what is going on with his passengers that are behind him. I won't even entertain 'hanging the boat out' with more than 1 passenger sitting right next to me that I can see. And I will run a little harder if I have 4 but the 2 in back of me are standing and are well positioned behind the bolster and grab handles. And then if I screw up, they are on the floor or worse.

All I am saying, for the most part, having a bunch of people bouncing around at 75 is a recipe for disaster.
Now if you just want to go out and raft, different story.
