If you are looking for a boat that will keep you warm, dry and
comfortable going through a chop on a breezy day, that is not it.

The walk through windshield models come with a full standup top and
side curtains.
They claim you can run full speed with this top up so that should keep
the wife nice& *warm during our short boating season. *(4-5 months)
Dealer claims he uses his boat 6 months because of this feature.
(Also that little cover for the bow space)

full top.

Yes, full canvas will make a big difference with warm and dry. *Boats
under 22 ft or so have a difficult time getting through a stiff chop
however.

He probably won't see stiff chop unless he decides to circumnavigate his
island.

I've sailed in waters that would have you hiding in the cabin with a
blanky over your head, SailorBoy.
