Hey Graham- not at all- not sure if Ive ever seen the boat either- i dont know the name- sounds to me like either a live well or thru hull fitting must have broken off and they didnt know. did you see them pull the boat into rudee ???? Not a bad idea the one guy has about putting an alarm on another float switch up higher in the bilge. scary sheet for sure for the guy getting the pfd's. i got your message about 3 days after the fact from my son last week?? and didnt have your number if you still want me to look at your console- anyways have a great 4th- i hope to fish most of next week (im off) for cobes, spades and sheepies. also some really big flatties being caught just north of the 4th at cbbt.

I didn't see em bring it in, but apparently it was quite a sight! Definitely not a good day on the water. I just can't understand why he tried to gun it, all that does is send water to the back of the boat and drop your motors. I would be different if he had a boston whaler w/ no drain plug or something like that, but a boat with a full bilge?

seems like this is a second time a seacraft flips over. the first one was some where in florida and not sure if it is a sceptre. is the sceptre top heavy to make it more prone to a flip over than a CC?

I wouldn't say top heavy unless it had a hard top and/or tower. It does, however, have more weight forward than a CC due to the cuddy and full windshield.
