Recently visited the Boat show and had my first up close look at an I class boat. I have a few questions about some things that caught me off guard

1) Why the hump near the splashwell rigging area? ZX series boats are pretty level from the deck to the back, what's the purpose of it?

2) Why no storage area under the seats? Is the space under the seats filled in or empty? Even though they can get wet, I still like the option of throwing junk under there in my ZX boat..

3) I was told the I-Class sits more level in the water at rest, is this true? if so, Why? More insulation in the back? bigger sponsons?

4) Do I-Class boats still have the older skeeter stripe on the side or did my eyes deceive me? I hate the new ZX series stripe..

I was really impressed by what I saw and will eventually upgrade down the road..
