Not to hijack the thread, but speaking of blowing out in turns - I was fished in to buying a Carolina Skiff Seachaser 18' flats boat a few years ago. BIG MISTAKE. I almost lost the boat lowing out in a turn. Very unstable in turns. Very poor workmanship out of the mold. However, a very stable dry ride in a heavy chop. I bought it on my son's recommendation and because they told me it was made from an old Hoog mold. I can't believe a Hoog would blow out like that one did!
