[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 299180, member: 4469"] Swamped a 20ft wellcraft CC on lake erie when we had following waves and the dock line was caught around the prop, also the bilge pump had some crap caught in it and would not work. We were about 4 miles out. Filled it up and then a wave flipped it over, it stayed on top but not level. Some other boat saw us and picked us up. Tow boat righted it, got it moving, emptied the boat and bilge of water, brought it back to shore, $600. We spent the next day getting the 150hp johnson and 10hp honda running again, got electronics working mostly. Day after that we went fishing again, 8 miles out on lake erie. That wellcraft had such a low transom, it was prone to swamping. Tim [/QUOTE]
