As long as you have twin 450 hp outboards ....
What you are describing, without the extra foot of beam, is pretty much a 24 Pantera or similar 24x7 boat. While I like bowriders for certain types of boats I'm in agreement with you about closed bow on performance and classic boats, also the practicality of not worrying as much about taking some water over the bow on a big lake like Winni.
Is your CVX a 20?
