well obviously the numskull who crashed it had little experience with that much power. it had twin 496 H/O's in it. considering you most likely didnt have the trim up. the props lost grip on a tight turn, and the weight of the boat itself would cause it to barrel roll. simple as an inexperienced boater, thinking they could handle that much power
this is my families boat before we sold it this spring. 32 foot advantage. name son god. with twin 496 HO motors. i received a call from the auctioneer the morning after. he sent me the emails of the crash. to be honest it made me sick. the boat is and was beautiful. i still dont know how they flipped it, because we can do 55 mph power turns and it hardly shakes. its as simple as operator error
@vetwannabe8ball it was also parked at the Ritz (lake bar) and it rained. hull was filled with water. i only know this because i work at Mau Marine and also saw it happen.

that barge actually weighs 25 ton (50,000 lbs) with three V8 cummins diesel engines and a straight 6 cummins to run the boom

Wonder if the guy driving it had to buy it. He said it was a bank repo and they were letting him take it out that day.

@jrbigbull
We think that in the middle of the turn he slowed down which caused the front end to lower and catch the water which swung the back end around.
