Just in, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...bow-rider.html.

Saw the renderings in Feb. at the St. Louis show. It will be a big hit at LOTO.

The layout is almost identical to my 292 Islander. Should be a nice boat.

Looks like they are catering to the lake boat crowd big time....don't see many of that type around this part of the country.

You take one wave over the bow in that rig between here and the Keys and you're scrambling to get the VHF to yell on 16 "Coast Guard Ft. Lauderdale...this is vessel taking on water...,etc.

Would make a great overnighter

looks very intriguing. I cannot wait to see the finished product.

You don't see too many bowriders with Marine VHF radios.

It is a unique layout for a bowrider. It's nice the way they designed it so you don't have to clamour through a mid-cabin to get to the bow area.

I was intrigued by this boat's test, full beam cabin underneath, standing headroom, enclosed head, galley in cockpit, almost sixty mph with twins. Only one I've seen with this type of walkthrough and cabin access thus far. Perhaps we have another now.

Michael, the fact that you don't have to go through the cabin to get to the front is why we own a boat with this layout. My wife vetoed a 288 Sunsation MCOB, Donzi MCOB, NRG MCOB, and all the others I showed her. I've come to really like the side walkway especially when going to throw anchor and deal with the ropes/fenders.
