My sister and her 3 kids, all up on the bow complete with e-sea-rider beanbag chairs.
There are many CC's where one can put in a "filler-piece" as well as the cushion to go with it so that helps. I just know that from having a full bow deck on 2 different CC's since 1987 that I have never once wanted anything different.
My boy was maybe 2-3 months old up there this past summer.
People always ask me what the "bathtub fish" are doing on the edge of the deck, well, at night, when stalking the big bassy's, it is hard to tell exactly where the edge is. With the fish there, the contrast is there so there are no falls to scare the fishies. I could care less if someone falls, just don't scare the fish, ha!
