Besides the look is there a functional advantage? Of course I know it gives more traction but you don't really want people walking around on the bow anyway do you? Or do you step there when embarking/disembarking?
When we are out anchored in the deeper water, with more than just a few people on board, people tend to jump off the bow of the boat. It’s a little higher surface to jump off of, so the kids especially like it. I was worried about someone slipping and hurting themselves, so I would always have to be the enforcer telling kids and friends not to jump off the bow. Now with the sea deck on the bow, it adds a non slip surface that I feel comfortable with them jumping off. It was a purchase that was a win for all.
