You could kiss the water surface, even in the captains chair. I grew up thinking this boat was unsinkable and self righting with all my Grandfathers and uncles stories over the years. I think I have told a few of those stories on this board. It was only after finding this site, that I started to think otherwise. I used to purposely lay the boat on her side, just to touch the water from the captains chair, for kicks. It seems foolish now but not when I was a teenager. Anyway I could never even make her cavitate with all that foolishness. A high tower with helm would make a difference but I dont think Stricks tower will make too much of a difference, especially if he removes 53 of those rod holders
I always wanted a radar arch. The boat does need a place for the antennae for the toys. If I ever get any of those toys, I'll have to find an alternative as I will, one day, move her to Nova Scotia(that might be soon as I just bought a trailer) and I have one low bridge at high tide on my river and want to be able to use the boat in any tide.
I think she looks sharp with the tower. Looking forward to seeing her with the windshield on.
