What's the beam on that boat? 8'6"? 9'?

If it's under 10 feet, (and likely it is) you could find things a bit
unstable when using the flybridge in beam seas, or even when walloped
by some guy being inconsiderate with his wake.

The COG gets higher than it should, particularly since evreybody wants
to be up on the flybridge underway.

Bayliner had a bunch of 24-26 foot boats with flybridges, back about 25
or 30 years ago. I believe some of the survivors sued the manufacturer.
(just joking, it wasn't that bad......but close).
