I know I say this about half of the Tritons I see out in the world, but WHY on earth is that boom set so high??? Planning on inviting Yao Ming along as crew?

Might be an optical delusion, given the camera angle. The cockpit might not be as deep as you're assuming.

It's interesting to me how similar that boat appears to be to my 1966 Wanderer. The boom on my boat is just a few inches above my head when I'm standing in the middle of the cockpit (which is nice, so I don't have to duck), and I'm 6'1".
