How old are your children mate a cuddy cab or full cabin with bean bags inside would be suitable if I have kids I’ll be adding a battery dedicated to cuddy cab children’s entertainment.

With full bow covers and clears it's almost no different to any runabout. Just get a bit under the covers when you bury the nose

I have had a wave come over the front, and pushed the front clear in, popping the press studs, we both got absolutely drenched.

It also happened a second time on WPB where I was too lazy to press all the studs on, only for it too blow up and cop another wave over the bow,
this time we didn't get so wet.
