What a wild story and a happy ending. I am pleased to hear that all are well.

Just curious, did the boat feel unstable at all?

It doesn't seem logical that these boats can be so top heavy with very little ballast underwater adn not capsize. Look at that shallow draft flat bottom.

I did not feel it was, but I had a pretty good buzz on, the driver should have felt it in the steering, but it was also the only turn we took while at speed.

I noticed that, too. Seems like a fairly narrow beam, and with the added wind resistance of the upper deck structure... the result seems a bit inevitable.

Glad everyone is ok.

Bobcat, you have reached your lifetime allotment of capsized vessels. :drink:

Glad you're OK. I remember hearing about that boat that flipped on Lake George - this made me think of that. Good thing those other boaters were out there to help. Hats off to them....:eek::D
