I reckon I miscalculated the top weight. We launched, caught a wind and over she went. I got to reconfigure things.

That's terrible Wal, I know how much work and thought you put into that thing.
Hope everyone is okay and you were able to "right the ship".

Dang Wayne, that sucks!! I assume everyone is ok, looks like you picked a windy day to test it. It didn't look top heavy, so I guess the wind alone did it. Maybe take some height off of it, and it will catch less wind???

That's some seriously scary [censored]. Flipped upside down. Under water. In a steel cage.

Can't say I've ever seen a pontoon boat flipped, thank goodness no one was hurt,

Did you take that pic with a potato?

Re: Fisrt Ducktoon launch went horribly wrong - 10/30/15 01:21 AM

I told you that framing was to heavy, that was piss poor planning on your part with this wind also. At least I don't have to hear about that dang bird flaring blind anymore.

Glad you found out now and not in the freezing cold in the dark, with all your guns and gear. back to the drawing board.

Guess Wearing a life jacket will be mandatory. I was scared that it was top heavy from the photos.

Leave it how it is just take four 55gl drums and outrig them a few ft off each side.. They don't even have to touch the water if you don't want the drag..

You could also widen the spacing between the toons

I hope everyone is alright and I hope that is a fake pic.

I just stated what should be the obvious.

Muddyz was first to call fowl play, he gets all the credit. At this point I'm thinking "ok, I would not put it past Wayne to do this", but then I thought "no, that's just not right to do something like this". Then garrett completely gives it away with his second post, no way he talks to Wayne like that, I knew then it was BS. Then Buck cleans up with his post.

Come on guy, I know you aren't too butt hurt. It is duck season, time to stir it up a bit. I had heard through the grapevine the boat is a top heavy death trap. Just trying to smoke him out whip

I'm not butt hurt, I think it's funny as hell. And I think maybe the one you are trying to smoke out was confusing your boat with bucks, his looks top heavy. grin

Yours, I was questioning how it would hold up going down the highway 60 mph, but then you said you were going to test it at 90 mph. lol444

I was kinda wondering if people were thinking this was mine. Ours does look and is top heavy. We can hunt out of it but it's a little sketchy if two or more get on one side.
