From Docksider Reports:

I am trying to figure out what possible advantage an LT boat offers.
Why wouldn't they include an engine well, it can't be that expensive.



Only an inexperienced boater would believe that the splash guard on a
small outboard boat is going to keep water off the deck.


My 1972 runabout did a great job of keeping the water out. The engine
well was just as high as the transom. I know there is no one in
rec.boats who has your experience. Heck, you use your boating almost 20
hrs a year.
