I have a full enclosure on mine and I didn't know what I was missing on previous boats. Visibility is limited when it is wet but you have to take the good with the bad. I would rather that water to hit the enclosure than spray into the boat, especially when it's 40-some degrees out. I have an aft curtain now but i am definetly gonna get a clear curtain made that comes straight down from the rear edge of the bimini so i can put it up when winter fishing and have the back open.
