Canvas over bow rail

[RWilson2526]

I know but I was out last week and saw another V-20 at Atlantic Highlands boat launch....Maybe Willy has seen him before but he was an older guy with his wife who seemed to like to lounge around while her husband fished. She had a nice fluff lounge cushion on top of the cuddy. I am assuming to get around the rule of no riding on the bow he had a custom canvas of sorts that was snapped to the cap around the outside perimeter of the bow rail, up and over the rail and snapped back down to the top of the cuddy.

In essence he had enclosed the top of the cuddy. It had a little bit of a Sanford and Son look to it but it was a pretty good idea I guess....
I'm sure she doesnt ride up there while at cruising speed but for trolling around it did seem pretty secure. Not sure if he would still not get hassled by the Coast Guard or police if they should show chose to.

I chatted with him for a few minutes but I dont think English was his first language so he wasnt real chatty.
