[QUOTE="Allen, post: 324706, member: 389"] With all those new fancy seats, it's not that surprising that people will push a boat to its limit and damage the hull. Back when I lived in GF, I knew of a couple Crestliners with crushed hulls from running too fast on DL. More recently, I know a guy who crushed a Ranger hull (aluminum) a couple years ago fishing the river. I was on Lake Sak yesterday to test run a pretty new Tracker that my sis and husband bought. We put in at 4 Bears and it was pretty wavy if you went a quarter mile south or rounded the corner up north to go to Antelope Flats, 3+ ft swells were common and they had enough of a frequency to where you could jump one and plow into the next pretty easily. We were running with ordinary post style seats and that helped make sure we didn't beat it to death as every wave was felt all up and down your spine. Note, while it's been a few years, I've also seen glass boats that were spider web cracked from running across big waves at WOT. I'd hazard a guess that the guys at Gibbons Fiberglass and Boat Repair here in Bismarck would have some real head scratcher stories from what they've seen over the years. What can I say, some people beat the crap out of their stuff and while it's pretty tough to assign blame without having been there, I was there (Sak) on Sunday and it was an easy day to eff up a boat.
