Actually, in general, what Chuck said is true. Bowriders generally do
not have drainage scuppers but drain to the bilge. This includes the
bowrider gilly was asking about. Bury the bow in nasty wave and you
most likely will sink the boat.


It's not the lack of a foredeck that makes a boat "less suitable" for
rough water.


I could not agree more, it is the lack of a low transom that makes the
boat "less suitable" for rough water.
