Call me a redneck; I don't care. It's more a reflection on you than on me. I love the upper deck! I love the creativity and the "I don't give a crap about you haters" attitude that was required to build it. I can think of at least two legitimately good reasons for that rig, Can't you?
Nope, not for chairs, anyway. For solar panels and a couple of windgens, leaving out the railings perhaps, but as a place to hang out, not so much.
Maybe that's why I like it.All you have to do is look at the hailing port. 'Nuff said.
Having spent considerable time there, this would hardly merit a second glance.
Good for bonefish and fly fishing tarpon. It does need a diving board.

Would not have been my choice ... but, that's someone's baby and they think it's beautiful. I'd hate for someone to take a picture of my boat (house, car, wife, etc.) and make fun of any of it. They're what I wanted, and I have many happy memories, just like you folks do of your boat.
I know of great sailing buddies that after a time & as they aged,
they made a change in the way they boat.
Several of my pals simply traded out their rag-hanging boats to trawler type boats.
Their physical qualities may have diminished somewhat, but not so their passion for boating.
Changing from sail to a trawler, the speed still feels as close to a sailing experience as you can get in
many of their eyes.
If looking for proof & at a marina, if you see an older guy with a trawler, stop & talk to him.
Mention this thread & you may be surprised that he was originally a sailor first for years......

Regular chairs instead of low-back benches, better breeze, better view - excellent place to hang out.
I saw something similar on the ICW in Fl. The fully enclosed balcony was on top of the center cockpit hardtop which necessitated removing the boom.
Now we're getting into ugly waters. No boom, no sail, no beauty.

I think it’s great ... note the rod holders ... my hunch ... their neighbors blocked the sunset
Launching grenades at them seems kind of extreme. Effective, but still extreme.
