Everyone was ok but very wet

Good reason for wearing Life jackets

[Dominic]

good bath there! guess they had something to tell that night, and the best thing is that they were all there in good shape to do so...

[SKRAMER]

Yep!!! WET!!!

[Bobcat]

cool vid !

[glh]

Did that once coming into a tight inlet in Florida when I had a Fountain 29 in the winter of 1989...

Me and my girlfriend at the time were fine & dry we just ducked under the windshield, but my father (god rest his soul) who was sitting sprawled out in the middle of the back seat enjoying the sun was completely drenched.

When I turned around to see how he was doing, he was looking at me his eyes as big as beach-balls swearing at the top of his lungs with his broken cigarette still dangling from his mouth... Can't make this sh!t up, it was freaking hilarious.

Jeff, Hotrod2, did that in his Cary 50 2 or 3 times on the way back from Sagatuck one night. It was a little rough. At least 2 to 4's was what they were telling his wife.......:sifone:

A guy with a 23' Baja stuffed it during the Oshkosh Thunder PR in the late 90's. Just about put everybody over the windshield. Shattered the windshield and one rider broke an arm. Winnebago was roll'n pretty good that day. I was run'n a 30' at the time and was just barley keep'n it across the tops myself.

[McGary911]

Wow. I like the slo mo shot. You can see the guys in the front duck, and the guys in the back go "oh chit". I counted 4 heads before and 4 heads after. That's the good part.

[Fever Mike]

That cooled you off! Great looking boat too and glad you did not have a windshield.

Stuffed the Cary? - Wholly Chit Batman:eek:

[03darkshadow]

some guys did that in a 23-24 baja outside the marina about 10 years ago and i think one guy died and a couple others had bad injuries. it was horrible. :(

[Tinkerer]

Did that once with my 34 at 70 MPH - didn't even have time to duck.
front side was soaking wet back side was dry.

[Blue Oval]

Did that on Lake Michigan north of Elk Rapids,only running about 35mph.Had been storming all weekend,needed to get home.Ripped all the canvas off,even took my hat.Looked at the wife,put my hand up to the windshield(thought I broke it out)all was good.All we could do was start laughing.Got back to Lake charlevoix and cracked a beer.

[Expensive Date]

Wow they almost got run over too.

[OBNOXUS]

see,,,, conservative isnt always the best !!!!!

He had them drives tucked way in !!!

[Perlmudder]

ouch!

[phragle]

I hae done the anti-stuff before...thats interesting nuclear sub, 800 foot pluse depth, full throttle, point to the surface and blow the tanks

[Magic Medicine]

yuck on all accounts

[Bradz]

The first video was scary but looks like everyone was OK, just very wet. Cool looking boat!!!
The little European outboard race boat stuff was made me shout out loud OHHHH. That had to hurt.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

The first wasn't going fast enough to call it a stuff. It simply dipped the bow.

The second on the other hand was a classic trip and stuff.

[Geronimo36]

good reason NOT to jump boat wakes.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQs9tloTzTM

Anyone know where that video is of the boat that was running outside an inlet and flipped right at the foot of the jetties?? That one's an eye opener too!!

[Geronimo36]

The reason why most bridges have no-wake zones... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PIQt62UGEU&feature=related

[nortech4play]

Here's a few....some pretty bad...

[RollWithIt]

Ouch.. Ive never stuffed a boat yet. I did the anti-stuff though. I hit a cruisers wake as we passed opposite directions and didnt see how deep the trough was till too late. I was able to keep the boat straight but it was quite a ride till i got it settled. I always try to cross wake at a 90* angle

[Wardey]

I stayed in a Holiday Inn once........:biggrinjester:DAve

[Wardey]

Remeber the "Heat is On" boat back in the 80's ? I beleive it was the Sarasota Race???? He blew the whole bow out of the boat.Dave

You're kidding!!!!

I remember it at the worlds in 1996. Stuffed it and blew the entire front end out in pieces. It was a 32 Manta if I remember right. I've got pictures of it somewhere. We did a cruise and the worlds that year.

[ItsPeanut]

Been their before.

You could be correct. I don't remember. He walked away from the stuff only to get shot by his ex-wife? wife's? boyfriend if I remember correctly. He was from Tampa. Dave

I was thinking twice with the same boat....

[wananewboat]

Was it the Etore (sp?) boat that stuffed and had some great photos?

[Bobcat]

yes in powerboat,6 frames or so,messed up the one of the crewman but the other drove it back to the docks in KW

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Anyone remember The Ferrari Boat of Mandy.. I should find and scan it. It was a cool pic with it completely under in clean Miami water

[phragle]

was that the stuff thatsfloating around on video that disintegrated the entire bow?

I was in a boat that stuffed about 50...not that fast...but it wasnt fun either.... didn't see it comming until I was plastered back in the bolster with water up my nose..

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Mandy's boat was a yellow and black Jaguar. The boat took it.

Is that the one that was in Powerboat years ago....I remember seeing one that was completely underwater....pretty cool photo but I'm sure the occupants didn't think so....

It may have been powerboat. There was some new mag at the time too. I can't think of the new. Mandy ran hard.

[Scarab KV]

Is this the one?

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

No, but it is a good one

[nortech4play]

Is this the one?

That's the one I was thinking of....

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

The pic I am referring to is from 1990. I will see if I can find it tomorrow

[MarylandMark]

Great looking boat too and glad you did not have a windshield.

Explain please?

[Scarab KV]

Explain please?

I think he was referring to a windshield not standing up to a stuff real well.

[Bad Idea Baja]

Never stuffed one, but have taken water over the nose at LOTO & a lake in Kansas.....at a idle.
Good for washing out the cockpit & bilge.
