LSC crash???
 

Anyone know what happened to this boat? Sounds like it happened today and near the moot. Hope everyone's ok

Just googled, nothing yet.

It rolled on lsc today near the moot. Dont know anthing else!!

They are all ok.

Just saw the same thing. Rolled in the moot after a hard turn and somehow all were ok.

Again glad all are ok.

Stepped hull bashing to begin in 3...2...1....

this wasn't the same boat that drove up on the rocks at metro years ago is it???

I missed it, would have def. of been there today, but just sold boat and havnet sealed the deal on another yet. Bit of topi...but looking for Formula 271

I think I know that boat... Hopefully his kid wasn't on board.

That's Cory's boat isn't it? Why did it roll?

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

owe that is not a good site :(

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.

That was a Cig.

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.

You are all very lucky, was anyone ejected,

Should be able to tell if a drive hit quite easily.

Everyone got tossed I heard.

We weren't going fast, 40-45mph through a nice gradual turn...that is until the drive hit...after that all I remember was skipping thru the water.

Pay attention here 288, we are all experianced boatsmen, and what happened yesterday was an accident. For you to bring up a situation when your ego got hurt from a few years back and call this Karma show s what kind of a man you are. What you should be doing is saying prayer for the people on board and be thankfull this ACCIDENT didn't happen to you.

All 6 people were ejected. Two popped up on the the left side, the rest were on the right. I landed about 50ft away.

X1 on that , have been there and did not care for the results.Accidents do happen and be thankfull everyone is still here.

Your kidding right, how can you tell how far the drive is down from that pic.

+1!!!

I know nothing about the area where you were boating, is it really that shallow.

It was about 3ft when I stood up.

Glad to hear everyone is ok. Boat looks exactly like mine! A good safety message to all of us.

If this happend to me id be getting a online beating from everyone, him included. Corey never hurt my ego when he was talking **** me. There's no ego to hurt, and if there was it would take more than a 5'3" guy with a dominator to do it. I go and run my boats how I want and do my best to make sure everyone on board stays safe. And as for the drives being down I guess I'm just going by the angle at which the hull is floating on the water and how much drive I can see still. Excuse me for pointing something out the rest of you guys are to blind to see through your friendship/brand bond you perhaps have with him.

If drive hit I'm sure there should be some skeg and prop damage easily visible from a 40-45mph contact.

And for the record the FIRST thing to come to my mind when I got the info it happened was I hoped his new born wasn't onboard. So let that be an indicator to what kind of man I am.

Nothing about brand bond hear, there is no way you can tell how far the drive is down by that pic.

If you say so. Your opinion and your entitled to it.

Ok, I'll give you credit for thinking about their daughter, and thank god she wasn't on the boat.

Why do you feel the need to make refferance to his height and model of his boat? Let it go tough guy. Grow up. Nobody else is giving him and "Online Beating". I hope people wouldn't be doing that to you if the role was reversed. If they did, then it might be time to ask yourself "Am I a Dick?"

I did appreciate your insight on trim level while turning with a step haul. That is a good point and worth talking about. As for damage to the prop or skeg, I did check that out and did not see anything on the skeg worth mentioning, however there were some 1/16 - 1/8 depth marks on one of the blades...the bottom was pretty soft sand/sediment.

No matter what, at the end of the day, THANK GOD no one was hurt after seeing the damage to the boat it is a blessing that they walked away! This stuff can happen and your life can change in the blink of an eye.

I touched my props out there a few weeks back and got 1 nick on a prop and took some paint off the skeg at idle. I'm thinking at the speed mentioned, you'd see lots of paint off the skeg and/or distortion.

Well said Jon!!!

Chances are the drives weren't tucked, there is a safety that does not allow the drives to pull all the way in unless you over ride the throttle switches with trailer switches.
