I'm talking about how low it is in the water; you should be able to see the safety paint above water all along the hull, not just a little bit at the bow.

That thing looks overloaded and waaaaay to apt to capsize.

Oh damn I don't know shit about boats 😬 that's nuts though, isn't there a regulatory body for boats like this?

I think it is mostly the insurance companies who demanded it in the first place. I don't know how it works from a regulatory perspective.
