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.

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 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

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.
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.

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.
