Who has stuffed a boat?

I've tunneled a couple waves but always came back out the other side. Watched a buddy "stuff" a 20' boat once. Stopped him dead like he hit a brick wall. We still think the bow hit bottom at some point. Lucky to be alive. Chalk it up to being stupid kids with boats.

When I had my 22' Donzi, I used to plow through waves all the time but not really stuff it.
Worst stuff: I was navigator in a race boat and we stuffed it off of Long Island. 60+ to 0 instantly. I hit the dash as the water poured over the bow and got knocked back into the bolster. Cracked ribs and some bruised kidneys all around but the boat was fine. Regrouped and finished the race.
Funniest: 2004, my first time running 1000 Islands Poker Run. I had a 29' Kryptonite, myself, my good friend Adam and my good friend Boxy who I had met for the first time that weekend. Boxy was good friends with one of my other friends and he was our navigator since I was unfamiliar with the water. As we were getting ready to start the run, he tells me to be very careful on the start because as the boats turn out of the harbor and head up river, the wakes stack up and it is easy to stuff the boat. So what do I do... I get on plane, head for the turn and proceed to stuff it right into a wall of water that built up from all the wakes. I had two feet of water roll down the bow, Adam and I ducked and Boxy took it square in the face! We all got soaked, the cockpit was saturated but everyone and the boat made it out ok. It wasn't until 5 miles later that the engine quit and created another epic story. Good time!

I was a passenger in a 32 Dominator that had a slow speed stuff at LOTO near the Grand Glaize bridge back in the early 2000's. Was a hot day so the water felt good! Weird seeing the cockpit full of green water!

I was racing a 25 express cat back in 1990 and stuffed in Bay City Michigan. It stuffed so hard we had mud from the botton of the lake on the pickle forks.

Not really a stuffed but kinda lol. We got to playing around spinning a ski boat. A friend of ours wanted to try and he stuffed the nose and broke the pass side of the windshield out and filled our other buddies shorts with glass lol.

Hell, you can "stuff" a ski boat by just chopping the throttle right before you cross a wake. A buddy of mine likes to do that if there are girls sitting up there in his.

Stuffed my 12' Baja Scat Cat at least 50 times. Man, that boat was a POS and rode like crap.
Dipped the bow in on a 21' Checkmate one time but not too bad.
Was on Lake George in a 22' Pontoon and the driver headed right into a cruise ship wake. A 2-3 foot wave went through the whole boat, soaking everyone and taking bags, coolers, etc. out the back. That was fun LOL
