Whether poker running or pleasure boating you have to consider saving yourself in that situation. I believe any pleasure boater with a canopy boat should go through a dunker test at one of the races. I am sure the safety guys would run you through it. It is a big time eye opener and that is a controlled enviroment.

I was at the LOTO poker run also and saw what you described. I also saw one of the boats minus it's two canopy hatches. That bothered me more then anything, I feel the canopy is useless without the lids on them. They go over at speed and it turns into a scoop, they won't walk away! PLEASE, keep your lids on.
Agreed! 100%!
