not an open bow, but similar! less chance to fill it up with water, but strange look !

Same setup with a 28 cig open....

uhhhh . . . . aluminum stringers? I think I'd worry about that.

The boat is local to me. I know the guy worked on it to get it back to life. I never stopped to see the finished project.

I personally think that style open bow is much better than a mid-cabin open bow.
1 front could actually house a vberth to take a nap in with a full bed and even porta potti under the bed
2 most midcabins just have facing lounge seats which kinda serves no purpose
3 people can ride at faster speeds and less worry about them bouncing out like way in front on a mcob
I wish current manufacturers offered this style open bow instead of mcob very similar to larger offshore center console fishing boats that dont have a berth under the center console

looks likea deckboat top plopped out on top of a offshore get-up

i like it

If i'm not mistaken , one raced in lscora years ago
