I want to talk just a moment about the bow.
The bow is a pretty critical place on a boat,
and if you notice on this twenty five footer,
it's a large working area; there is lots that can be done out there.
It's high …
that keeps the thing out of the water, less spray coming up over the bow and hitting
you in the face in a terrible storm, and so on.
This bow is covered with non-skid and yet below it, it has storage.
All these are a big advantage.
If we look at the bow of this boat [Mission Marine] and compared it with the bow of these [competitor boat], these are much
lower.
So when you're out in heavy seas, this [competitor boat] is more likely to go underwater than
this [Mission Marine] one is.
Also you're walking on it [competitor boat];
whereas in this boat [Mission Marine] you can stand a little bit behind the forepeak bow
area, and you’re still well-down inside of the safety area of the boat.
… as opposed to being fully exposed like on these [competitor boat].
Now back to the Mission Marine boat.
This is the area I talked about that we could walk across and stay down in the
boat.
To get up onto the forepeak, onto the deck, we have steps to do it; you don't have to
take one giant leap.
And then we would put a seat across here which
is probably the most incredible place to sit.
It is the smoothest ride; it is an amazing place to be.
In law enforcement they use it to separate guys from the bow to the
Stern.
In fishing, it's oftentimes guys are sitting up here fishing off
each side of the boat.
And when you're just out for a boat ride, this is where everybody wants to be. It's
a great place.
Here's again a picture of these steps going up onto the bow,
and back to the beginning … the bow
very important!
