Harry, is this an optical illusion? Is that guy maybe sitting in the
splash well?

I have never seen a boat that size without a splash well.


It's not an illusion, this boat is extremely wet in anything but light chop.
I was in one with one other person and we continually had waves breaking
over the transom while drift fishing in 2' waves.


Look at Harry's own pic- you can see how large and deep the cutout is.

Ron,

Was your buddy able to rig up a splash board to reduce the amount of
water coming in over the transom? I know I would be worried about
correcting my wet feet problem, instead of changing my NAV lights
because i didn't like the way they looked.

It really wouldn't be a big deal in the summer, but Harry doesn't like
to fish in the summer, so the real problem would be in Fall and early
spring. It could make for a very cold wet day of fishing.
