I have a 23 footer BR from Colbalt. Cannot say enough about this boat, only thing, just a little underpowered at 260hp. But she rides high, has high free board and when my daughter, only 4 years old, sits in the bow, her head is still blow the top of the free board, not to mention there is a rail around the bow as well.

I know the newer models are not as high, but the reason, other than cash, that I still have this beauty is because of how heavy she is, and the depth of the deck. when I stand driving he windshield is just at my chest, and I am 5'11" one of the few boats I have rode in that actually feel like you are riding in, and not on.
