Cam...

I was thinking the same thing.. sort of like being in a semi submersable but with the top hatch open. I wonder how they handle in following seas?

They copy it off a 31' Slampage. Probally the same weight ,steel versus waterlogged foam. Much better with a cannon on bow.

I couldn't help thinking that the boys would really have appreciated equipment like that on D-Day. Would've been worth being covered in puke.
