Dave, that was definitely good for some beer out the nose! Oh, and I couldn't agree more.

Note the clever "deluge deflector" directly in front of the helm station. As for the rear set passengers, they get head rests to help keep them from getting washed over the stern.

It all started with bow riders, and just continued all the way to the front of the boat. It's almost impossible to find a boat that isn't a bow rider anymore. Even a Center Console is a bow rider. Who knows, maybe next it will be square fronts.

Whoops! I guess it's already happening.

The fourth from the top and third from the bottom look good but still don't think I'd have one.

Now I understand why you spew such drivvle constantly on this site and like to play with that itchyfibergasystuff. Your the result of the genticmanipulationof, fordiduusayfathers. I'm forwarding your name and address to Case Northwestern. there should be an nice white limo with plush interior to transport you to their luxury resort. Enjoy their facilities Dave!

P.S. Stroked do we get extra points for having multiple points as Mr. Deeeep "pointed" out.

I don't like the boarding platform on the front and I'm serious about even a small stuff totally flooding the boat. I like the original deck boat design from the 90s better. Flat bottom jon boats or barges don't count!
