Water IN boat.....stupid
Boat IN water....as it should be

Genius is finding a way to keep a bow heavy (from filled jacuzzi) GLASSTRON from
A) puking it's contents into the cabin and cockpit
B) splitting the feeble azz hull-to-deck joint and sinking
C) breaking in-half
D) submarining
E) not being a death trap

If its on the hook and reasonable calm water I don't see why it would not work? seems to have enough freeboard. plus its a 27 with twins so probably ass heavy as is. when empty it probably does not weigh much more that a typical open bow. I would be curious to see how well its supported etc. It looks that any water spilled would just go overboard. look at all the tow boats that have water sacs all over the place. as long as it was well thought out it would at least get a lot of attention. when rafted.

You don't have to "install" a Jacuzzi on some boats...watch at least to the 2 min mark..pretty amazing that this thing keeps running...

We have a 100 gal water tank in the bow for ballast in my friend's 33' boat he built. Also we have this compartment for a liferaft that holds possibly 4- 500 Gal. we had it filled up on hot summer days to cool off in it and the bow settled only about a foot lower to the waterline.
