Spinout video.

[7819foot]

Posted this on the PB forum, might as well post it here too...

On my last run around Modesto Res the other day, about 1:15 into it, I went into a slight right turn at maybe 40-45mph, and the rear end whipped around on me. No damage done, just a 180 the hard way.:eek:

The pump is a bone stock 12JC w/rudder.

My hull is a Hawaiian 19' w/2 strakes on each side, and has been extremely stable up to this point.
Not sure why this happened...maybe hit a little rut in the water?
I have watched this vid a bunch of times, and that's all I can come up with....trying to learn something from this....:confused:

When I got this boat a year ago this month, it had no rudder on it, and the second or third time out, I spun it around so hard that it nearly sank.
Dunked about 1/3 of the boat under water.
I had water up under my ankles, and barely made it back to shore.
The next day a rudder went on, and the boat has just been a pure pleasure to drive ever since.

Yeah, this reminded me of what can happen, and how fast it can happen.

Strangely enough, I cannot wait to go back out....with my vest on a little tighter...:thumbsup:

that happen after the rudder as well? i also have a 76 hawaiian 19 footer 460 and have never come close to doing a 180 but i know were it started to skip i stop cranking the wheel did you turn in very fast into the turn?

[7819foot]

That's the strange part...I was not turning very sharply at all.

Since the rudder went on, this was the only time it has come close to spinning out.

The water was a bit choppy, but nothing wild at all.
All I can figure is maybe I hit a little chop or a rut in the water and just lost it.

At least the boat stayed level and recovered quite well.

Good thing I was alone in the boat.
A passenger on that bench seat would have flown right out, or in to me.

I had the pump out this winter, and had it rebuilt.
I just installed a loader too.

Other than that it is nothing too wild, but it is in really great shape compared to every other boat I looked at when I was shopping around.

The only Hawaiian I have seen, but I am new to all of this.

I've done a few ov' them, but not intentionally by any means.:o
When they happen unintentionally, it sure gives new meaning to the old saying ... " What the HELL was THAT ? ".

No diverter yet.
The motor is a 72 with the lowly D1 heads that everyone hates.
I just pour in a couple bottles of 104 and some 91 pump gas, and I don't get even a hint of misfire.
Works for me until it grenades or I win the lotto.
I don't play lotto, so, "fire in the hole!":D
2 17 gallon aluminum side tanks came with it.
This little mishap was at like 5:00pm, so maybe the low fuel level and my giant, light-bulb-shaped, cranial brain container made the boat top heavy.;)

Hard water?;)

I'm in Modesto.
Moved here from SJ a year ago.
