It just looks like a fancy pontoon boat to me. I see a lot of wasted space especially in the bow area.

Not wishing to be rude, but to me they look a bit (lot!) like the types of boat in theme park lakes powered by pedal power ! They just need a GRP swans neck and head at the bow and they'd be perfect .

Both ends are pointy...guess the bow is whichever way your facing. I can see a goosehead too, plus some big floppy rubber web feet dragging aft. If you have kids don't buy that thing...they will get teased. Maybe a VW Thing tow vehicle.

I'm not a huge fan of the RS color scheme, but its no where near as ugly as that other thing....

I see your point, but at least with the RS you can tell what direction it is supposed to go!

Seems damned odd to have that reverse shear on the bow. Gotta be a lake-only boat and then only in very flat water. Sure, you want down-force in a car as it aids traction. But on a boat? That'd only make it push down harder into the water, slowing it down. What's the goal here? Make a 'toon less ugly? Hard to buy into that when it also makes the boat perform worse.

Actually went and looked at the 2013 RS, My first impression was the same as everyone's " Man thats ugly" But the more I looked at it and crawled around on it , it starts to grow on you. One things for sure Its a One of a kind out there on the water. I am afraid of it getting old quickly.
