Boat looked like a 650 evolution, you know the ones, the same as the 650 evolution that flipped on a demo day.


Yeah the boat was a white evolution a long way from a 15 foot runabout.

Newcastle newspaper reported it as an 8m vessel. At least it stayed afloat. Is there an issue with these hulls or is this just a coincidence after the one that went over in PPB on the demo day? Mate of mine has been considering one.

Just wrong place at wrong time I would say. Weather is pretty gnarly up here at the moment. Evolution owner was on board apparently, so should not be driver error.

If the weather was as bad as it sounds, makes you wonder what they were out there for.

Did they actually flip it out wide or was it in close in that nasty tide against current pressure waves that build up near the entrance ? how rough was it ?
