Back wgen I wasnt as worried about safety, my at the time 8 and 9 yr old daughters were riding on the bow. I was barely going fast enough to hold the boat on plane. With a descent chop I failed to identify a rock about the size of a vw bug sticking about 4-6 inches above the water. Needless to say we we hit it and launched the boat barely touching the skeg. The boat slowed so fast that I watched in horror as my kids went over the bow and under the running boat. In a panic I raised the motor not even taking it out of gear. One child washed off to the side and I couldnt find my youngest. As I was getting ready to jump in she popped up next to the boat and later explained she had managed to hold onto the keel when she went over. Thank god they survived with only bumps and bruises. Every since that day, nobody rides on the bow, kill switch on wrist, and jackets on while under way</p></blockquote><p></p>
