I am anxiously awaiting the facts on this one!!!

My point was that if it stuffed a wave and took on 425 lbs of water without any extra weight on board, it's even more likley to take on water on the nextr wave with the extra weight on board. 50 gallons sounds like a lot but it actually takes up very little space (6.68 cubic feet, or one third of the capacity of a typical fridge) and could easily come over the bow. What if it took on 100 gallons on the first stuff?
I'm eager to discover the facts too.
