I always thought those towers were for looking down into the water.
All that additional weight and higher COG are worse than useless in
big waves. Last place to add a couple of hundred pounds of weight
(person) in a blow would be that far above the WL- or so I would
think. We have no experience in boats with "towers" out here. We need
to keep the COG closer to the WL.- Hide quoted text -

I have no experience with them either of course, but my thinking has
always been the same as yours.. Last place to put all that wieght is
way up there in the snot.. Maybe Harry will chime in here, I am
sure he has experience with some of the taller towers, in the worst
conditions, with a cutout so low the bottom feeders could swim right
in, . .(but no water of course)... but with all the best supporting
electronics and good old salty knowledge, all by himself but with
support boats nearby

Sorry Harry, couldn't resist- Hide quoted text -

Oh, forgot to mention, the support boats were crewed only with
beautiful supermodels in bikini's...

Don't forget the Fire Engine boats using thier fire hoses to welcome him
home.
