I've seen this phrase several times here in Rec.Boats, and I was
curious to what they are.

I take it , the phrase is mentioned to describe craft with a more
modern "styling?

Keep in mind that Pascoe is sort of a bubble boat snob. ;-)


He's right. Those boats are designed by idiots, for customers who are
idiots.



What makes YOU so sure they are "idiots? what makes....OOPS! sorry,
I'll leave that up to the rec.boat professional LOL!



Any intelligent person who has kids can look at the rooms in a house and
figure out where a toddler's going to get into trouble. It's the same with
boats. It's obvious that certain tasks take place on the foredeck, and that
it must be safe to get there and work there. If the designer or customer
don't see this, they're idiots. Some things are simply true.

Don't take me wrong, man. I can agree with you. jsut that the local
forum criticizer will probably pop in here to rip the thread....

I'm not wild about the aesthetics of bubble boats but if properly
designed, usually with a "walk through" arrangement, the foredeck can
be made safely accessible. Regardless of what you think of the boats
or the people who own them, they serve a definite niche in the
marketplace and are quite comfortable and spacious for inshore
cruising.
