Default Re: 23 Seafari flips, all safe

hey Ed, I think its all operators judgement, maintenance etc and it goes with any boat. Lots of examples- I heard of a couple of those big new Big Luhrs sportfishers going down, as well as a 27 albie here a couple of years ago and a 36 hatteras i used to mate on as well. Point being, i think any boat can and will in the right conditions, sink, flip etc. thing is when they flip with an air pocket you at least have something maybe to cling to, that hatteras and ablie sunk like rocks blub,blub,blub!!!! I would rather be in and still feel safer in a seacraft than i think any other boat in its size. JMHO !!!! craig [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
