Excess spray in rear seat

[blufrog1]

1969 sea nymph, 14' kicks a lot of spray when there is any wind soaking the driver at mid+ speeds. Have any of you had this issue and what did you do to fix it

Is it coming over the front or the sides?

A drawback of a tiller model when crosswinds blow spray back into the boat. Hull design can make it better or worse. My Starcraft 14' was notorious for shooting spray up for the wind to blow back onto the driver. My current Sylvan 16' is very good at knocking down that spray, but in honesty the power trim can change the hull position to lessen that spray alot.

My first thought was slow down.

My first thought was slow down.

I was going to say just go faster. Opposite approach but, the same idea.
Find a speed that keeps you dry.

Those little rails on the outside of the hull divert spray. If there are none or they are under water, you can displace the weight in the boat to let the hull ride better. If like most of us, the hull is at or over capacity, slow down

Add a spray rail just above the water line to knock down the spray before it catches wind.
