What's your thoughts on running a " canopy " boat on poker runs , and fun runs ? Is it good ? Looking at a similar boat for running poker runs .

We ran the boat for 2 seasons with the canopy on. We cut the canopy off Jan 2014 and have been running it this way since. The boat is 100% better with the canopy off. I never really understood how loud inside the cockpit is with the canopy on at slow speeds (35 to 75). visibility is also an issue with the canopy boat. We had to run a rear mounted camera to be able to see behind us.

I would not hesitate at all to buy another canopy boat. But I would cut the top off as soon as it came home.

Hope this helps
Don
