That's the most business like pilot house on the riv. Got in one once for a while. This is one of your most epic vids from the visual presentation standpoint. I have just about the same imagery for this boat from Grand Tower in a snow storm about 13 yrs ago. Wast of good time but what a boat. Amazing design for impressive eye appeal as compared to the flabby crap Jeffboat builds.
