I have had both Cuddy, Cabin Cruiser and now a deck boat. Although, I LOVED my Cabin Cruiser...... I no longer need to sleep on it. Therefore, having the expensive of a large boat like that seemed wasteful.

However, I refused to go without a pump out head. What we found was that depending on size. The Sea Ray deck boats had more room in the head area and you don't need to b 4'10" to be able to use it.

My daughter like the cabin cruiser or cuddy because the wind bothered her ears.... however, she would at times get sea sick. Since my kids are at camp for the entire summer and aren't on the boat as much as we are and we entertain A LOT! We went for the extra seating.

However, it also depends on the boat as to whether you get tossed around in the bow. Although ours is only a week old..... last weekend was ruff in spots and I didn't get tossed.

THE OTHER benefit for me is now I am not the ONLY one that can drive the boat. This is much more manageble and has a dual prop for easier manuvering. SO, I get to relax in the bow seats at times and still have the pump out head. YIPPPEEEEE!!!!!!!!
