I wouldn't go so far as Butt Ugly, but the proportions aren't exactly spot-on either...

Intersting none the less. With half the windshield or twice the hull size it would look better.

The windshield appears to fall into the "protect me from wind" school of thought, rather than the "I want to look cool" school.

Not sure how peppy it would be with a 140 engine, but cold molded boats aren't very heavy, and wood is buoyant. The 140 is pretty light, so it might not be too bad.

I think it would have looked alot better had they spent another $400.00 on wood and made it 5 ' longer. But the craftmanship is to be applauded....

It looks like something George Jetson would've bought Elroy to tool around in.

I do think it's cute in an odd sort of way. :boggled:

You mean just like the windshield on my 22? :yes:
