Whats up folks, Quick intro. My name is Louie i'm from Downey Ca. I've been bitten by the jet boat bug. Never owned a boat. Have a few friends with Boats, but no jets. I build harley's in my spare time, So i'm selling one to fund a boat. I'm kinda torn between an open bow and closed.  I love the look of closed, but i also like the idea of a having a few friends hanging up front as well.  Any info you vets can give, Or pros and cons? anything i should stay away from? I have about 5-7k to spend. I was really liking this boat below, but its sold. Thanks. Looking forward to spending sometime here and soaking up the knowledge.  Lou.
