Default Re: THIS THING IS A TANK!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Being on an ugly boat or coming in alive is not much of a choice for me.
Was on a really nice 32 ft three year old sport fish a couple of years ago got real sloppy and the hull cracked just ahead of the windshield after coming off a 6/7 foot sea. A six foot sea is actually a 12 foot drop from the crest. CG saved our butt and the boat by getting a big pump to us. So much for pretty hulls. The insurance company totaled her. Never heard of a uniflite or a 31 bertram for that matter hull structual failure except for the uniflites that got shot full of holes.
Check out the history of the brown water navy. Interesting reading.
