Anyone go with open bow, thus Yamaha over a cuddy because the thought of being below deck, in the heat and humidity, and the boat bouncing around in chop makes me nauseous just thinking about it.

I would love to have a queen bed below deck to have the young kids take a nap etc, full head .
 
If you have deep pockets or appetite for something older, there are options...
 
The formula boats look awesome, but that's what I'm saying, I'm not sure I can handle going below deck in any chop, even in a boat 500k plus. It's unfortunate. I wonder if my youngest (not talking yet) gets motion sickness? Don't know, they can't tell us.
 
Going below deck for a long time during voyage without a view of the horizon is something I associate with great boat legs and salty sailors/boaters. The rest of the mortals do well to watch the horizon while underway, but you can still use all your cabin space while at anchor at your destination.

Who wants to be hidden before deck while motoring anyway? All the action is outside.
