From what ive seen they’re built to punch through the swell. There’s a video of one coming into haulover and totally “stuffs” but that’s kinda what they’re built to do. Pretty cool. There’s videos online about how you need to run them different than a traditional boat.

great design on a closed bow, they want to go through the waves so efficiently comes from not rolling up and over... simple way to think about it is a standard v hull rides on a sin wave, this one rides flat line, so the distance is shorter from a to b. I still can't understand them with am open bow. Puts passengers at risk. There are some pretty violent videos of people getting hurt. Look at that hull design on coast guard, pilot boats, etc and the bow is sealed and locked down and they generally are pilot house designs because it stops everyone from getting blasted by water

The "made for stuffing" is all fun and games until this happens
