They might get sprayed while it plows through the waves. Boats like
that sit very low in the water.

The other problem is these things have a wide bow with very little
deadrise so they can really get to pounding. Deck boats are the same
way. My buddy with a Hurricane 26 tossed a 48 quart cooler right out
of the bow of his boat hitting a wave in the Big Carlos inlet.


Like the old Trihull, cathedral hull boats. Were probably the greatest
calm lake boats ever made. But beat the crap out of the passengers with
any chop.

That is what I think of as a bow rider. It is certainly what a deck
boat is, except they are usually longer. Some of those Tri hulls were
damn near square. (length just over twice the beam.)
I see a couple around here with northern numbers and 2 fat ladies
sitting up front.
