During the sea trials, determine which boats you can drive while sitting down
and still have good visibility of the water in front of you. Are you looking
through the windshield or are you looking through the isenglass? Do not be
fooled by driving the boat with the bimini or canvas down! I do not like
driving an express boat if I have to either look above the windshield or poke
my head out through the canvas to see where I am going.
