Flotation - amazing video from Skeeter

[Texas Transplant]

Take a look at the video from Skeeter regarding their safety. I know that other boats are built well also (Ranger to certainly name one), but this video is really amazing.

Every high end bass boat built today will do exactly the same thing.



What has always yanked me about the floatation scam ads, when you cut a hole in the boat, it'll float higher than if you leave the plug in and fill them. But, guppies that we are, we all go "ooohhhh"

Pat,



I would tend to agree, but you still have to admit, it's a pretty impressive video. First one I've seen that has four people standing on the deck fishing.

Cool!



hmmm, if the 3 guys on the front were not there to counter-balance the weight of the engine, would it drop dramatically at the rear?

I wanted them to get on plane and run with 4 guys and all the water in the hull.......if they would have tried that it would have been a new line of skeeter boats the "submarine".....:lol:

It is actually a USCG requirement for full level floatation. The trick here is that it is on calm water.....
