"talltigeguy" you are totally wrong.... Adam hit it right on the head. Ask anyone who has owned/driven both style bows, you will quickly hear all of the positive things that the picklefork brings to the table. Not only do you double the interior space in the bow, but you are GREATLY increasing the surface area of the underside of the bow. As you slow down the boat rolls forward and more and more bow starts to come in contact with the water, increasing the upward force. I was driven a fully loaded Malibu the other day and you were unable to just cut the throttle on the VLX when someone fell. If you did it sunk under atleast 6 inches. The solution was simple, you just had to crank the wheel hard left as you slowed down, but none the less it is something I never have to do when driving a picklefork.
