Boat is sensitive to weight - very. Also, if you catch a wake of someones larger boat 'just-wrong', your boat can grab a chine and literally do what you're saying - feel like she's going over - it'll stay that way until you get out of it - it can scare the crap out of you and your passengers.

I think this is the nature of the hull. I avoid these types of vertical wakes or waves - not riding parallel to this type of condition, and to be sure that heavier people are not shifting around the boat a lot. I adjust my trim tabs more than steering !

If I see a wake like that, I will attack it on an angle being sure to straighten the hull as I cut through the wave or wake - the SC will usually cut the wave in half, neatly...

Every hull has its achilles heal, I do believe this is the SC's - at lease the Tsunami's / Sceptre's - that, and wandering while idling forward i.e. going down a canal...
