: I can't see the pictures (work's computer has them blocked) but the
: only downside I can think of is a large open cockpit doesn't
: offer the level of support to the structure that a closed deck
: does so you'd have to do some design work to compensate for that
: or you can get a fairly floppy hull. Much like a canoe without
: substantial rub rails.

Oops, darn (edit feature here) replace gunwales for rub rails, shoot ;)
