Re: Boat Crash off Marco Island Today
Bow acceleration can produce between 3000- 5000 lbs per square foot at 60 mph . If the boat was built light [ no full length stringers to the bow ] , it may snap the nose off .Lots of scenarios .
Here's a drawing showing the distribution of force on a typical V hull .Just my 0.02 cents .
