  • swamping a max4 or a max2

    Howdy gents and ladies. I am looking at buying a Max 4 with a 23hp and 26 inch tires. I am wondering what happens when you get too much water in the tub. Does it swamp level or turn 'turtle' or 'feeding duck' (except ass down with rear engine)? I would have a bilge pump and life jackets, for those who are wondering. I know it depends on dead weight and distribution. I have had several commercial vessels.

        Bow sinks then the boilers explode and it cracks in half?????? If that's a Max I'd hate to see how my Bigfoot sinks.

          sunk

          Thank for the input. I needed some humor. Guess I will go with the 50 ft engine snorkel hose on a float and bring my scuba gear and speargun.
          I might have to water fill the tires for bottom traction. Hmmmmmmm....might be worth a try.
