When Darris showed us the "23 plug" a few years ago at the rally (actually it was still a 24' then) he DID mention a possible open bow. Specifically we discussed a "cuddy bow" (or whatever they call it) where you could crawl thru "under" the consoles that could have storage and various "nooks" under there and then on into a bow seating area. I'd be surprised if the hull was deep enough for that, but leave it to the grandmaster to pull it off in a way NOBODY has ever thought of or engineered before! Just an idea taken from some of the 25-30ft west coast boats. He also asked me what I thought of a bassboat deck being put on that hull. I told him, ":cuss YES" folks would buy it. For those of us that fish mainly open and busy bodies of water it would be AWESOME!
Regardless what it is, sounds like it's gettin fairly close to a finished product!!! :at the bar
