@ the 19 second mark you can really notice the difference in attach angles.

Very good video showing the difference of how a step hull runs VS a traditional hull! Thanks for posting that!

Bad choice for a "moderator" Sun forums guys... doesn't even own a boat (or a Sunsation at least) and takes life WAY too seriously.

Look idiot, I have bought 3 new Sunsations and currently own a 38 Donzi with 700's. Why even try and chime in with 5 post... Whatever..

I like the tape job around the drain fittings. Looks top notch!

I know Wayne doesn't bond his hulls/decks with glass but I thought he used plexus. From these pics it appears little, if any plexus was used. The hull/deck joint separated awfully clean. What a shame. Was a nice boat. I am a bit surprised at the amount of damage.

Rolled at somewhere between 45-55 MPH (depending on witness) in 3' of water. I'm not supprised at all given it's a cored hull and who knows what damage was call by the actual impact, angle of impact and then what was caused by the recovery team. Unless it was a solid glass or expoxy based lamination I doubt it could not have come out of that type of impact without major damage in those conditions. Simular to the Fox Chain accident in that both were running too fast in shallow 3' of water turning a step hulled boat.
I'm sure the structual engineers and accident analysts here on the thread probably have all the answers though so stay tuned!

Just goes to show the forces involved with water (and possibly the lake bottom) at those speeds. Again, thankfully no one was hurt.

Yea no kidding, I've fallen solemn skiing before at 30-35 MPH and could not imangine those type of forces at those speeds with that much mass on my body!
