PHENOMENAL!!!!! I watched that like 10 times in a row. I hope to never be in that situation. Looks like a Grady insignia but the hull doesn't scream Grady to me. That guy on the bow probably needs both knees replaced and will never buy a Yamaha. AWESOME.

Clicking on that link causes my computer to crash. I need to reboot it (turn off then on again)
to get it going again.

That guy in the front did take a beating. I was waiting for the hull to break. I thought he was done when he took the one from the side. Amazing!

MJ,

I think I saw that video last year from a link on THT, although it would probably kill this old box if I tried to click on it. There was a pretty good discussion about this video, and about how the open transom allows water to dump out in a big way whereas a full transom would swamp.

With your 3 foot bracket, do you think you would have submerged your motor if that was you when the boat was standing up into that wave??

Thats a good question!! And I hope I never have to find out the answer!! :o
But that said any boat would have the motor swamped in that scenario. The question is how fast you can recover!
With the bracket, I am wide open and there will be nothing to hold the water against the motor. It will wash off instantly!

Like I said I hope I will never have to know!!
