Another thing I like is that I can actually rest my thighs against the sides of the boat without worrying that i'm going to fall over. I've been on some boats that the sides are below my knees. One little slip, and you're in the drink. A friend of mine was complaining to me that it was difficult for him to rinse his hands in the ocean on my boat. He would lean over, and couldn't touch the water. He spent a good five minutes trying to time the waves to rinse his hands. He tells me, "Man, my boat is awesome because it is easy for me to rinse my hands in the water." If being able to rinse your hands in the water makes a boat good, then I don't want a good boat.
I'm about 6 inches from the water when I through my feet in the air to the point where my Dad jumps towards me and grabs them because he thinks I'm faling over
I was refering to the old boat of course
I sworded once in a 31' Contender and we took water over the bow in a 2-3' FOLLOWING SEA
