The other day, me and a couple of friends were out on the Chesapeake Bay trying to find a nice big 'ole Cobia. As we sat casting to one of the bouys, we noticed something like a 21 to 24 ft center console racing along toward us. This thing had a tower on top of the T-Top. AND, ALL FOUR GUYS ON BOARD WERE UP IN THE TOWER! :eek:

Long story short...... They spotted a Cobia, dropped the throttle back and cut a HARD 90* starboard turn! Needless to say, the boat high centered and almost went over. They didn't dump anybody. But, it was a miracle that they didn't.

I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer sometimes. But, even I could've seen that one coming! :cool:
Cheers!

Re: Near Capsize

those cobia towers on small boats are crazy. Some guys use a step ladder tied in!
