Flybridge Question for Leviathon

Post by Maestro »

Out of pure curiosity, a question for Steve...did the flybridge you added to your 28' have any noticeable effect on the handling of your boat?

I'm wondering about increased rolling with waves or noticeable problems with the wind pushing you around while docking?

Thanks!

Depends who you ask. My wife is convinced with 2 people up top we are top heavy. I think it is fine. Certainly there are plenty of 28' marinettes with flybridges. Overall, I think that my 28' marinette is not the most stable boat on the water, with the light weight, and the hull design, it is a little tippy depending on the body of water you are traversing. I do not think that the flybridge made much of a difference. For sale on Craigslist and Ebay - someone should buy it - now!
