Hey...I like it, it's got attitude.

I got it, after thinking about it it is a hybrid drift boat, the drag holds your position, no wait, that won't work, this is going to drive me nuts.

I don't that they are holes but only made to look like holes. I'm a little interested in a boat but I'm going to let this one pass.
Can't run A STRAP through a "trompe l'oeil", Flyguy....lol, and the transom missing is quite obvious.... those really ARE holes, as to why ?... have yet to know.
Must be a Fiat-Chrysler design.

Now seeing that "tie-down", passing THROUGH what I thought might be "port-holes"; ... also taking into consideration that the transom seems 2B M.I.A. ... I'm starting to think, that this vessel is in the process of modification.
I’ve seen this ‘boat’ at the inlet multiple times, just never when the owner was around to speak to. It’s got a significant keel so I figure it must ride high in the water and the holes let excess water drain that you might take on bursting through the surf.
Tom Hanks could have used it to escape from the island in Castaway. Remember Wilson in that movie?
And just how does "a significant keel" make a boat "ride high" ?
Severity of "v-hull" angle, could possibly raise "heighth" but at the expense of "roll stability" but a "keel" is basic to tracking (and boat construction strength) and "fighting against tipping past the point of no return" (as in a sailboat), seeing nothing that would afford that service, unless there's an unseen dagger board. (Hey... what's one more slit in the hull gonna make at this point ?..... hehehe)
Talked to an owner of one of the beach clubs here in NJ. It is clearly simple. The boats are built that way to be used mainly by a life guard crew to get through a rough surf. The holes are there so wave water will not sink the rescue boat as it would an ordinary boat. Wave water will not fill up the boat. It will rush out and the boat is built with extra buoyancy so that it rides higher once through the rough waves.
