The Cobra looks in really good nick, compared to the tinnie it will be luxury having a screen and being able to get out of the wind. My mate had a Belmont which I spent a lot of time in, solid boats.

Belmont is the same with a head or cross wind. Spray shoots forward of the bow at every usable trim angle and gets pushed up and over into the windscreen, canopy, clears or your face. It's the only real annoying fault with the Caribbean's.

There's a Belmont up bowls way with a custom wavebreaker and spray deflectors on the bow rails for this very reason

Head on ,pretty good.
Side chop the killer.
Its a,runabout n not a cabin ,so it was expected somewhat.
The front steer tinnys i tested were worse in that size range.
