Not a fan of open bow small boats in waters that can be rough. The industry came up with these so they can advertise more seating, but in waves: 1) Kids seated in the front of windshield can become airborne (I was in a boat where this happened). 2) You can take water in the boat over the bow. Just my 2 cents. Enjoy.

Jeff: The plug can be removed when under way to suck out any water that accumulated during use. They key is to make sure you are moving forward at a high rate of speed. Most people also remove the plug after the boat is loaded on a trailer. The sure sign of a new boater is forgetting to reinstall the plug before launch!

Also as mentioned earlier, take a safe boating course. The US Power Squadron and Coast Guard Auxiliary run them around here in the winter. You can't imagine what you don't know.

And make sure you have the best swim ladder. The narrow rungs on some are a killer on feet.:thumbsup:
