[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 455181, member: 432"] From the news I am hearing, the captain was not driving/operating the boat at the time. He was on board but one of the hired crew was operating the boat. It looks to me that they were trying to keep the bow heading into the waves. Once they were swamped a couple times and the engine quit they would have had no way to keep it on that heading and it maybe rolled over after getting turned sideways. I was wondering if being an amphibious vehicle the weight of the undercarriage for the wheels might have had an impact on its ability to stay afloat in those conditions? [/QUOTE]
