From the press pictures, I was concerned that the new tower with its solid design could make the rear seating feel enclosed. How's visibility from the rear seats?

Any pictures of the new hull from the front (no angle)? Should be interesting to compare the deadrise/flats/chine with previous year.

When are you getting it on the water?

Are there wiring holes for tower speakers up top?

I was meaning up top where the speakers would mount.
Negative you would have to drill them. I wouldn't want there to be any pre drilled holes, that way your able to mount them anywhere you want.

I think that keel is begging for a Keelguard, no? I wonder if it would affect it too much. But it sure seems susceptible down there. And beautiful...

It looks sturdy. I don't beach my boat at all so no keel guard for me.
