Limited selection probably prevents a lot of people.  Much wider range of
closed cockpit models out there.  Anyone know of a maker of glass
sit on tops that compare favorably with a closed touring? Or even
harder, a foldable sit on top for those that must fold?  I'm very curious
about this, I would consider one for specific hot weather/warm water
situations.

Why are there more closed cockpit boats? Maybe just the feeling.
'Suppose Harley-Davidson could be sued for promoting unsafe antique
hardware.  As the Harley rider says with a far away look "It's an experience
unto itself".   Can't deny people the option to get it into their head to
say wonderful things like that.
