No, that is the new 52' MTI for the owner of Wave Effects.

The 32' at Troy's shop has 4 seats in it. The guy building it wanted the safety of the canopy. I agree in S. Fl i do not know how he will stay COOL in the summer. Maybe he has a house somewhere else or they are installing AC.
Time will tell.

I know the canopy thing looks pretty cool and its nice having heat and air but it seems a little much. Seems like kinda driving in a car. I much prefer the open air. I wanna feel like I'm in a boat when Im on the water. Just my humble opinion Ha

I've got a lot of time in full canopy boats and I wouldn't own one personally. Even with ac, it still gets uncomfortable vs an open cockpit. And the hassle of put your belts on/take your belts off, repeat, repeat, etc. every time you get out of your seat is not for me. And you absolutely HAVE TO be belted in every time you get going. I also don't feel they're any safer without any rescue around if you do go over. They look INCREDIBLE, but they're aren't for me for a pleasure boat.
