It has portholes!
Looks like the seller might have some other fun stuff too.

The strange thing is that there seems to be no attempt at a cuddy cabin space, so what are the portholes for? Still cool looking though.

Looking cool is enough of a reason.

I talked to an owner of one of these (and I saw the boat inside and out personally). He said his 3 little kids used to like to take the boat cushions (on the flat floor under the deck) and ride around under there...it was even big enough for me to get under there at 6'4" and turn around to get out. I noticed how well the natural light lit up the space. Easy to see, read, or find anything. I could see where just letting light in would be of help if you had lots of gear stored under there and were looking for something. My personal runabouts were so dark, I had to drag everything out until I found what I was looking for and then put it all back. I thought the cool factor was good enough on its own for me. The hull is nice and deep, the boat looks like it could handle decent water, yet not weigh as much as a glass boat of this size. Lots of room in that boat.
