It was myself and two girls up front and my buddy on the bench seat going 66 mph gps... water is glass and its always a good time.
|
Depends on the boat. In our old 32 Envision I had no problem with the kids riding up front at 60 mph in water that wasn't too rough. But that boat has deep bow seats with hand rails all around.
|
40-45 max, then the kids all retreat to the rear to get out of the wind. waters gotta be like glass tho
|
Thanos for all answers...... any bad storys.....sounds like its rather safe.

I have been about 55 or so up there, and was happy to retreat to the rear when prompted that the speed was picking up. The mid cabin becomes a wind tunnel at about 90, shot an air born shoe like a football straight through, imagine kids and such? I will stick with my closed bow.

I usually have everyone move to the back of the boat when running fast. There have been times when I have gone fast with people up front, really depends on conditions, who is in the boat, etc.
If I plan on getting down I move everyone to the back. When boat is running around 45, every person I move to the back the boat would pick up about 3mph. |

Yep! What he said! Been in a few up near 80 on flat water and in some slop. Once in a past boat I popped a 200# dude from the front over the winshield to the back seat. After that I wouldn't let anyone ride up there. Not to mention the design challenges if it was stuffed at a high speed.

Surprised so many people don't like being on the open bow. I can't keep my damn friends out of it. They always complain when I want to go fast and tell them to get back. I'll cruise about 45 with people in the front of my Dominator unless it is a full on Lake Travis washing machine and it seems pretty safe. But it is also pretty deep up there. |

78 mph, on a light chop and no boat traffic of course. Everybody that has ridden up front in my Dominator says its an absolute thrill ride.
