Decent boat in this video as well, and the guy was almost clear of the big inlet swells... however, to me it looks like he had a hull full of water.. the bow is way too close to the water.. the captain is an experienced commercial bayman and said he had a trim tab failure and motor problems.. A hull full of water will short stuff out, but I dunno.
In any case, even a good boat and experienced captain can have a bad situation come upon him,, REAL fast... bob
