Dunked the nose of the LSV several times, mainly when running IBS full for surfing.
Only dunked the Mojo 2x. 1st was just not paying attention and nose dived my own roller.
2nd was stupidity i think. I had the all 3000lbs filled for surfing. 1500 rear, 500 center, 650 ibs and 450 sac in the bow, plus too healthy guys.
Thought I would switch from Reg to Goofy in the rear, using that new cross over pump, tankes about 4 minutes to flip sides.
I was cruising at 5mph and all the sudden the rear balanced out from the water weight changing, I happened to come to idle and litterally burried the nose. I was sinking at the bow. I had to throttle up, till my 2 buddies came to the back of the boat LOL.
Was a bit scary to come to idle and my nose just go under water.
Since then When its time to rotate reg to goofy we sit with the boat still, and no Men in the bow LOL.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

No matter how it happens it usually scares the hell out of me. I am not a fan. Normally I do this when surfing, the wife does it all the time. Sometimes I leave the bow cover on when we go out for a quick set and that has saved us.

I've buried the nose a few times when its been busy out. And a few friends have buried it not paying attention.
I DESPISE powerturners......And only do it when needed
How many of you guys Powerturn? Because that is part of the problem in itself.
Most of us with heavy boats know how to turn around without sending huge rollers right????
If I power turned where I ride and who I ride with they would throw me overboard.....lol
My method for picking up a falenrider is after they fall....
cut throttle....If your running nose heavy watch the bow
then just as the boat is almost even in the water the wake causes a "push"
I turn the wheel to the right and it kicks around( if REAL heavy in the nose start the turn a little earlier)
then cruise back to the rider
No wake to plow through or bury your rider.......
You can also turn to the left if need.
Is this the same method most of you folks use?07 LSV usually DUMPED

Ummmm, love that "wet carpet" smell.... I think it is inevitable even if you are very carful. I think it happened twice the first weekend we were out with our lsv.

Ok guys if you don't know how to drive a boat its time to review the "NASCAR Ned" video. This guy is spot on with his technique.
