    I have no problem getting back in a M-31 thru transom and same with windshield, done it a lot and I'm 58. But not so kind for some folks, I understand your point. I like the way MTI does their transom on some of their's.

Why would you have an open bow in a boat that does over 70 m.p.h.? IMO it's not really that safe to have people riding in them at those speeds, plus closed bows make for good dance floors/tanning areas. As far as what side the steering wheel is on, it doesn't really matter to me as long as I am throttling with my right hand.
    I agree pretty much with you, closed bow boats on anchor/ moring waters.. plus the closed bow lets you start boating earlier... and go longer into fall.

    riding in open bow/deck boats is like riding in the back of a truck....that's why I designed the second helm.for cheetah to offer a wind block for me when riding in the wifes wild cat
