Hi again,

Have you purchased this boat yet?

My father had one in a single console version and a normal front fishing deck... Solid boat, but word of caution....if you get into waves, you will be bounced and jammed etc due to the bluntness of the bow. It will be a rough ride since the bow cannot cut the waves as nicely as a more pointed front end...

Not to discourage you from buying it, but figured I would share experience with that particular front end design..

Lots of floor room on that model, though...

I actually thought the sharp keel would cut waves even more than a newer V-boat. That's odd. I wonder if some of the issue was due to the weigh of the boat...They are pretty light.

I'll throw up another picture of a similar boat for a better look at the bow.
