Don't show this to your Mommas or they will never ride with you again.
Please keep in mind that all riders were aware that this was coming, and all under age had PFDs on! So no flaming on the stupidity of this stunt. We also had no idea that the weight in the bow and the speed of the approach would create the most awesome Sub Move I have ever done!
I had to post this here as well as the other forums I frequent. I'm so glad I handed the cam to my bro-in-law!
For those curious, my bilge pump works, and it's good to know the deck will not drain out the scupper valve with that much weight in it, so the water goes into the hull unless you can get the boat back up on plane to let it drain out the side.
Electronics are fine and the engine is fine. Killed the engine right away, killed the main power to the stereo right away. Floated to the dock and pumped water long enough to allow for safe starting of the engine so that we could trailer it up for a full draining.
WOW! Enjoy!

Looks like a good time! Glad it was a successful sub-doo with nothing breaking and all riders getting nothing but the ride of their life! That will be one to talk about for many years to come!

Wow! Did the same move last summer! I only had water up to the seats however. We were NOT expecting the Tsunami that scared the Sh!? out of me! I was worried about water flooding the engine compartment. It just drained through the floor & not over the engine cover. Kids loved it!
I found ur video on utube & showed several friends! Wish i had my cam rolling @ the time!

That one will probably not be topped by me anyway. Little ones are safe and drain easily.
With the amount of water that came in with that one, we were laughing so hard we didn't get it up on plane to drain it out right away. It filled the bilge and had to be pumped out. Or at least pumped enough to run the engines safely to the trailer to drain. I will stick with the ones that don't make my cooler float away!
