My manual advises against that while underway.
Seems it's a safety concern. Besides, how would y'all like to get repeated splashes of coldcwater from Halifax Harbour in your mug?



After you are on plane your guests should move to the back of the
boat to avoid stuffing the bow.

You're taking water over the bow while underway? You have the wrong kind of boat for your boating venue.



I don't know where Don goes boating but a bowrider is no place for the
ocean or in large lakes where the seas can get rough. Just my opinion.

Between 2/3rds and 3/4qtrs salt and brackish water...rest on fresh water.
The salt is usually halifax Harbour, the NoethWest Arm and Bedford Basin, St Margaret's bay and Mahone Bay. Brackish would be Porters lake and the Bras d'Or lakes.

They might get sprayed while it plows through the waves. Boats like
that sit very low in the water.

The other problem is these things have a wide bow with very little
deadrise so they can really get to pounding. Deck boats are the same
way. My buddy with a Hurricane 26 tossed a 48 quart cooler right out
of the bow of his boat hitting a wave in the Big Carlos inlet.

Like the old Trihull, cathedral hull boats. Were probably the greatest
calm lake boats ever made. But beat the crap out of the passengers with
any chop.

That is what I think of as a bow rider. It is certainly what a deck
boat is, except they are usually longer. Some of those Tri hulls were
damn near square. (length just over twice the beam.)
I see a couple around here with northern numbers and 2 fat ladies
sitting up front.
