Appears the drives are still "tucked" from the bobber pic. #1 leading cause of dominator rollage from what I've been told.

Word on Facebook is they were taking a cut from Muscamoot to the Middle channel and hit skinny water, caught the drives and rolled. Everyone's ok, but the boat's crunched.

Water's down at least a foot in our canal on Harsens, so I'll be sticking to channels or following folks until I get the feel of things.

Help the undereducated here (me).... with the drives 'tucked', how does that help/cause a rollover?

In shallow water, will the props digging in cause enough 'kick' in the boat to lose control?

I know muscamoot is low I had to idle out a looong was to get on plane few weeks back.

My source tells me he was performing the "sunsation circle". Apparently its high speed pass followed by a tight turn and he always has to do it faster than everyone else. There were plenty that seen this happen so expect the full story to emerge eventually after everyone has the same story memorized.

I did this same maneuver a few weeks back at muscamoot with my patented avh hull, fortunately all 5 on board stayed in the boat and we stayed fairing up.

I can't help but see the irony here. Few years back Corey told me how much of a dumbass I was when my 288 videos got posted, I couldn't drive a boat worth a ****, I was gonna hurt someone etc etc... Looks like karma is a fickle b!tch and almost claimed 5 others lives to prove it....

Drives being down makes the nose "heavy" and the rear light. Step hulls tend to spin out or slide and bite causing roll overs.

When performing tight turns its recommended to slow up a bit, trim up, start your turn. Once you hit the apex of the turn you should be able to accelerate pretty quick and almost feel like your on rails since the ass end of the boat should be well planted to the water.

Hate reading stories like this but the good thing if any is that no one was hurt.

Yup, everyone is ok. I was on it. We think one of the outdrives hit the bottom when we were turning. The did a 180 and rolled.
