360 full hard glass enclosure?

[sel1005]

just saw some pics today someone sent me that look like the new 360 has a full hard glass enclosure vs eisingglass / hard glass?

Anyone seen the real thing? Pardon me for saying but what I saw was butt ugly. I always loved the 360 look, wished it had full hard glass but something nice and round and moulded like they do on Cabos. This looked like a design run amok, sharp edges, nothing sleek or sexy about it at all.

What I saw looked more like a northeaster pilot house boat than a GW. Great visibility but this is not something that I would buy as it has zero design appeal to me.

Hopefully they will use someone with a better "eye" on the 4XX model to retain both the GW look as well as the design features that make a boat attractive as well as functional

I'm with you SEL......It just doesn't look like a GW......On top of that...I LIKE opening up some of the canvas when on the hook on a hot day/night or trying to control my drift in a stiff breeze. I've never liked the hard enclosures on any express but this one looks like they forced it on there.

They should have re-designed the hardtop to try and get it to look better.....I'll bet future versions will be better offerings but still not for me....As for the 40 something.....I think it'll be awhile before you see that boat.....

I took a look on the GW web site and it appeared to be an option. Some of the pictures showed it with the "regular" hardtop and some with the full enclosure.

I have to agree that the full enclosure has a terrible look to it. Unfortunately I won't be having to decide on a 360 anytime soom :cry:

"I LIKE opening up some of the canvas when on the hook on a hot day/night" quoting Fishermanbb....

you said it and I totally agree. I like the connection with the outside world around the boat, and unless its driving rain or I'm anchored / docked and the mosquitoes are intense, I want to be out there enjoying whatever is going on around me as long as I can stay awake.

Otherwise, just get a convertible or something you can sit inside in and have the AC and TV and PC going and maybe do a load of laundry while you're sitting around looking out the window......

Just my .02...

But I DO hope they revisit the hard glass in the future, with the right design, some sliders, whatever, it could be a nice option.
