A bridge deck that high kinda works for an expedition yacht (see Nordhavn). But in a "sleek" sport fisherman, it just comes off as clumsy looking. No thanks.

The helm seating at the rear of the bridge just doesn't seem right to me, although if you had some bikini-clad passengers it would give you a nice view.

i can understand the placement of the helm at the rear of the upper deck. otherwise, there would be very little visibility when backing down. however, i'm not sure i would want to sacrifice visbility forward (which is the direction i strive to be moving in most of the time). i would prefer a more forward helm and an extra set of sticks in the cockpit for backing her down. then again, the whole thing looks top heavy to me, which would be a deal breaker long before helm placement.

Good to see an Aussie builder getting some publicity:)

Maritimo is run by the same bloke who started Riviera boats. This style is very popular in Australia, yet curently the fashion is for single level sports cruisers. Maritimo has just released a C550 ( i think) which looks the goods.
