Sea-Ray that sunk at the point pleasant canal in New Jersey

Put the kids in the back of the boat, trim the bow up, more speed and taking the waves at a 45 degree angle.
I don’t think it would have helped, but after the first stuff I would have turned the bilge pump on.

what's nuts ( i dont know this area of course) is this canal connects two bodies of water "off" the ocean... and currents like that through it to me are nuts.
CaptainYaj Yak chime in
completely armchair quarter backing this entirely as i have like no fucking experience boating with ocean currents like this... but from how i understand since i dont understand is you should ride the waves as best as you can and really throttle up and back depending on your angle of dangle altitude. i watched a bunch of videos of smaller boats going through this canal without incident
very counter intuitve but i really think he should have sped up, trimmed the motor out of the water, got the weight out of the bow and got the bow out of the water for sure
also, the kids (anyone really) shouldn't have been in the bow through there for sure.
secondly, im really surprised it doesn't look like all the kids have vests on regardless of water conditions, which is mindfucking cuz they look smaller than 12
Bro holding the windshield together, aka wally-boater mcgee, not doing shit when the kids started getting fucking sunk is mind blowing.
looks like a 21 footer im guessing from sea-rays website which calls for up to 12 people/1700lbs so i dont think so. looks like they were under that it appears unless there was a fatty hidiing somewhere
Lmao, there's prob a fatty rolling around the floor at the bow unable to sit up, root cause IDENTIFIED
It's crazy how rough the water is. I would not want to take 10+ people through that in a boat that small, nopenopenopenope. Even my non-boating ass would look at the boat, look at the water, and say "naaaaaah maybe tomorrow".
id bet everyone in this thread has been to the atlantic ocean at least once where'd this even come from
I see it often down here with bay rider style boats entering and leaving the gulf into a inlet and the water crashing on the bow of a boat that is over packed with people.
few months back seen a boat like that take Hit with a few close waves in bad wether and came very close to taking them down, and the family on it.

Um, okay. You're right, I've never been on a boat in the Atlantic, never swam at Revere Beach just north of Boston. Nope. Ya got me! Dirty crook made ya look!
The pacific maybe. Atlantic..My non-boater reaction plan: Turn on bilge pump, transfer kids to the back, throw the useless dude in the middle overboard to save weight, trim the motor whichever way it needs to be trimmed to bring the bow up, and floor it
Nope.
bilge pump woulda been straight pissing in the wind with how much water the fucker took on.My non-boater reaction plan: Turn on bilge pump, transfer kids to the back, throw the useless dude in the middle overboard to save weight, trim the motor whichever way it needs to be trimmed to bring the bow up, and floor it
but yeah your game plan woulda been better than what happened.
