Default BOWRIDERS- Pro's and cons

It's not the lack of a foredeck that makes a boat "less suitable" for

Lack of a foredeck combined with low freeboard at the bow makes it
very easy to scoop up a wave and bring it onboard. Low freeboard
forward is the big difference between a typical bowrider and a center
console.

To me, that makes a boat less suitable for rough water.
