I could spin my HST, my STV, and Hydrostream viper at will. They were never deemed unsafe...in fact I just considered it fun, what little freeboard there is kept me in the boat.

look at the video at 22-34sec
it shows the bottom im talking about the bow or front 1/2 of boat is lower than the transom then it has a keel following to the underneath iin the front this is backwards to how all other powerboats are built the boat naturally bow steers,,,,,, with u having a controlled on purpose spin is totally different now add in your daughter on a friends POS fishing boat and it tosses her out unknowing it was going to happen I know people that have been tossed in these boats when they 1st came out so its to me no fun thing to unexpectedly to be backwards,,,,,,,,,,,,,, while standing up with nothing to hold u in as stated there is many well built/designed flats boats then there is pos also like this el pescador |
This is pretty silly. Sorry for the girl but this is a bit much. Tax dollars at work...

yea they quit making that model many many yrs ago
with all the lawsuits back then to deal with cannot believe there is still any left out there if I was a judge back then I would have made builder buy back every 1 to crushem but guess there is as u can see that boat in vid is old,,,trailer is really bad lookin now all they make is full tunnels and imagine with a new owner to have no liabiltys of the past |

yep,,,,EL PESCADOR boats are crap and unsafe
they been building them for 20 yrs and 000,s of times they have tossed people out that 1 version was made from a sailboat bottom as why the bow is dragging and boat spins out on the bow sad part is its the weekend boater that gets hurt the 1 that is there for a fishing trip or ride not knowing the boat their on there are some very nice flats boats and then there is the backyard crap Just a deep forefoot for cutting the chop. |
the starting bottom plug was a late 1970s 25 mako hull
cut down the sides added pocket tunnel to the rear cut the front nose and narrowed it and used a front keel that followed about 1/2 way down the bottom I call it a sailboat design weather is or not as that keel design cuts water and helps to go straight downfall what they did was make it go lower than the rest of the rear bottom so it bow steered when they 1st released them I rode in 1 approx. 20 yrs ago and got out as was rear was walking even going straight in chop didn't matter how deep u pulled motor down or cup added to prop ,,,bow would not lift so not to bow steer they sold it pretty quick repaired many flats boats through the yrs built around here that 1 particular boat was the worst |
