    That MC should have loaded the trailer a lot shallower so he didn't get banged around so much coming in.

    That Bu was a direct drive, wonder how much weight he had upfront because I know any boat I have when I accelerate to 10mph I'm nose high, either way that guy shouldn't have been in the bow either.

    Plenty of room to talk without being there, I thankfully haven't been in anything that bad I believe, but definitely had a similar experience a few years back when 30mph winds popped up and it was stressful getting on the trailer in that.
    Boatless for now

    all you have to do is throw it over the side. much cheaper to replace a few bags of lead than the boat.

    Anybody else put their wakeplate all the way up in these situations? I find it helps keep the bow up in rough water. Also did anybody notice people sitting in the front or was that a different boat?

    Well, that also assumes the driver knows how to actually drive his Dad's boat.

    Or get it to the back of the boat to get the bow up.

    Yeah, so many ways that dude could have helped himself in that situation.

    The power turns could have been a factor! That jet boat seemed to be ok just idling around so I think 95% of it was driver error.
    But yes the conditions were not optimal LOL
