Not that I am in that price range but agree. It doesn't look like it would take much to enclose it and put a cabin in like the older LX. That would make a nice Island hopper.
As for the wake board, on Facebook they said one of Reggies granddaughters did wake board behind it.

I wish more companies would build something like this and enclose the bow so you can get more of a cabin. Think intrepid 43/47 but built by Nor-tech/mystic/midnight… Midnight built the 37 cabin for awhile, wish they would do a build like that using the 43 hull as a starting point.

Not everybody wants bow seating to accommodate 20 of their friends and a small windshield so everybody on the boat but the driver and copilot are getting blasted by the wind. I know a lot of people who would prefer a full beam wraparound enclosure and an enclosed bow.

Good looking boat. It will probably sell great for them.
Nortech still make the Monte Carlos? Think it was a 43’? That boat checks the boxes you guys are talking about if they made it in outboards. Closed bow, full windshield, plenty of seating. Not sure if they still make them

I won’t mention the Donzi 41GT, (OSO guys were very negative on it).
if the wallet is big enough, Magnum 47.5
. I don’t like red boats but this one looks stunning.

Everyone wants a fast CC until you actually go over 40mph on one

Just thought of this, I had no idea what a DC was either until this time last year, I always heard the term but just dismissed it. At a boat show last Sept we were on our way out when we stopped by the Pursuit display and I was talking to the sales dude and asked him about the DCs, I climbed up on one and didn't expect much but after a minute or so I was like WTF is this? Why hadn't I known about these? I told my wife to climb aboard and she said no, she thought it was stupid. Once I insisted she was as surprised as was, wound up getting one. It's not perfect but met most of our needs...I still want a cruiser though to spend weekends on as we get older but this is good for now.
