Default Now . . . about this 'beak' thing . . .
These are two 42 footers; primitive comparison at best.
Granted, there may be an integrated swim platform.
. . . But - considering 'wetted' surface . . . ? ? ?

They sure look to be the same size to me!

I do get tired of that old beak/swim platform B.S. The fact is virtually every boat built today includes an integrated swim platform and most have a nose on the bow...if they aren't built like a tug boat that is.

No beaks, no pads, no steps, NO SPEED.
Like saying this Caddilac sure rides better than your Corvette.
