I think it would still be a good design today with a few mods, maybe stretch it like 3 - 4 feet, add a foot to the sides but keep the overall look and then add a U-shaped rear seat.
Everyone wants bow-riders these days, and they make sense in many ways, but having someone sitting in front of you while driving is not fun. I really prefer the closed bow/cockpit forward design. I find it interesting that Chris-Craft still keeps this design.
Well next time one of the boat manufacturers ask me for my opinion, I'll try to remember my own ideas
Oh, and I'll see if they can balance it out to use a heavy-ass 4 stroke on the back
