As you guys know better than me, Fountains are haaaaaard boats to get in trouble with. The handling of their hulls are probably the overall best in the Vee class to me, so I'm just blown away that someone could flip one? Especially this time of year, with the lake as calm as it ever gets?
I'm glad he's alive, but I'm really down hearing the dog didn't make it. That's really sad.

E-DOCK'S BOAT PULLING FENDER BIOTCH 460 Sea Ray Sundancer

B I think TY would have to disagree with you on that one  I haven't been in a 38 that I know of, but the 32 yanked pretty hard on landings.
This sounds like a case of the twin step(I assume it was a TS) two step that went wrong, but I wasn't there either.

Yeah, I had forgotten about that! 
I've driven JM's 32 a chitload of times starting back when they bought it in 1992 or so, to when he sold it a few years back. They only thing I couldn't ever figure out, was why the steering was soooo tight on that boat? It had full hydraulic, and I believe JM had it looked at a few times. That boat always felt like it had NO power steering to me for some reason. That said, we never got out of shape in it any time I was riding/driving. When TY hit that wake crooked, there was NO WAY he could have corrected it in time to miss that cruiser. He was lucky THAT incident wasn't a WHOLE LOT worse.

I remember seeing that boat for sale in Havasu not long ago. Terrible news about the dog.
