I am constructing a new nose cover for the boat for Kayley. I got a great deal on a big boat cover in the bargain cave and I have chopped it to cover just the front of the boat. I have created a support for it - where the height is roughly 2 ft above the top of my side console.

I cannot see the exact front of my boat while sitting - but can see around it very easily - got into the boat and checked. While standing - it's not an issue at all. For safety sake the top is easily removed so if I need to take it down [or put it up] it will only take a few seconds.

I want to make sure that the slight obstruction while sitting isn't going to break any regulations - if it does I can lower it to the point where it would be legal. But then I need to know what is legal...

She's growing like a weed and I stil want some type of protection for her in windy/rainy days. I think that is one of the major reasons why she loves to fish so much - the weather really has no effect on her experience... Of course, it has an effect on me :-)

Inland only - mostly spent trolling at 1mph :-)

thnx,
