Thanks!

1. Large windows in a tropical setting create heat issues.
2. Large windows are a safety issue on passage. Larger windows are more likely to break and when the do the leave a bigger hole to fix. The bigger the hole the harder it is to fix and more water can get thru it.
3. Beaver tail is a problem in 2 respects
A. It's kind of big and being thin doesn't look that strong despite steel construction.
B. Big flat area for storm waves to hit and make steering even more difficult during a trying time.
4. Lots of freeboard which potentially makes to boat top heavy.

Here's a freebie off craigslist in Philadelphia. It's concrete and to be fair the seller says it would make a good reef.

That's optimism for you. That thing is a liability - eventually they're going to have to pay someone to get rid of it.

They're hoping PT Barnum was right. I can't imagine what the cost to get rid of it would be.
