I have a big hardtop on my boat which tends to make the center of gravity higher than I would like sometimes. Especially, with a light gas/ice load. These boats will flip, or nose into a wake if you catch it wrong.

There also seems to be a trend down here in Florida of people running boats very fast out in the ocean, especially at night. I have hit some stuff out there in the gulf stream that you wouldn't believe, including a playschool swingset last month, just under the surface. I am glad to hear that everyone was ok, but I would like to know the circumstances that lead up to this.
