[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 251857, member: 6937"] I've been swamped by a para-sailing boat, operated by a common boater with no common courtesy. It put so much water in my boat, it flooded the engine compartment, and destroyed my engine. I wasn't close to sinking, and foam wouldn't have helped in this particular case. A baseball bat to the SOB's kneecaps might have helped, but then again, I would have gone to jail for handling it in that manner. I took it to court, but of course, with no witnesses on my boat, and the defendant having his first mate lie for him, he got away with it, free to do it again, as this is not the first time this 'paper captain' has swamped somebody. Hopefully, the next time it happens, it will involve a family member of one of the members of the jury that let him walk free, that would be fitting karma. With all that said, I DO understand the importance of foam. I'd like to have more foam in my boat, but again, with the modifications I have, there's just no room for it. [/QUOTE]
