Those guys are nuts... No fear at all

@mrstuntdevil1 It is a combination of the engine (heaviest part on the boat) being on the bottom and air tight compartments all the way up. Because the engine is on the bottom it wants to go to the bottom very fast. Between the engine and airtight compartments the '47 will self right relatively quickly.
-
I understand the boat will flip back over but how is it doing that?
-
@colpoys1 If it flips, it will go back right side up, the boats are designed that way, and I seriously doubt that anyone will die. They are strapped in so even if the boat rolls they are attached to the boat.

@bamsawa Believe it or not, some guys enjoy being out in the open. And you have a much better of the surroundings from up top. And they are all strapped in so they aren't going anywhere.

For those who think it's fake, It can scientifically right itself. Air doesn't exactly like being under all that pressure (there are 7 watertight compartments on the 47.) So, it rolls over. Our heavy weather coxswains (captains, nevertheless) are trained in how to handle heavy weather. I'm only a crewman but from what I have seen it sounds like it's a better idea to hit the wave from the bow of the boat rather than to try and take it on from the side...

@horsyluvr yeah if you take a nice size wave from the side its definitely gona roll. if slightly to the right or left of bow you can roll

the 47' MLB is not fake designed to self right its self in under 8 seconds. They are also self bailing. The way they can right them selfes is the overheaad mast is an air tight compatment which causes the top of the vessel to want to right it self also the desiel engine sits low in the deep v cut hull causing that to want to go the the bottom rapidly
