Post Flip an 1860 GT boat?
I got an 1860 and It slides pretty good. If this thing got away from me in deep water do you think it would possibly overturn?? Or do you think that it would just slide? It almost got away from me when I was doing about 30 in deep water last week and I think I shot crap clear to my socks... Just wondering if it was possible to dig in and flip or if it would just slide? I'm sure someone here knows.

You can slide, then catch an edge. The momentum & weight of boat will cause a side to dip thus either throwing you out or allowing a wall of water to flood over the starboard or port side. I've seen boats sink doing tricks like this. Only do 360's or slides/ spins in shallow water
