I suspect this isn't in the Zodiac list of optional extras

It's a flipping Harpoon

Ramming speed.....

I kind of understand why they've done that, but it does look ugly. I also have plans for some railings in the bow area to assist recovering an anchor and protecting the tubes, but nothing that sticks out like that.

Perhaps he’s taken up jetski hunting as a sport!!!!!!

Attached to the tubes like that it can’t be all that rigid. Over time I would have thought it might tear the attachment points off.
