[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 232388, member: 3438"] I assume you don't want to know about drain plug sinkings or deliberate capsizing. ;) In that case, I have had only close calls. Those have all been on river drift trips where the hull hung on rock and the current almost flipped the boat. Never underestimate the power of shallow water current. All cases the depth was less than 4". I have been hit by large wakes that have almost thrown me in, but didn't swamp the boat. Those pedelstal seat can do more than rest your butt. A surprise wave at the transom has exercised the bilge pump a time or two. PS: Are you doing risk analysis for your floatation foam question? [/QUOTE]
