Nice. Any damage to the hull or engine?

Is that one of those Subducer hulls?
Nice job. We have a local boater who designed his own OB tunnel and his did that a lot even in calmer water It seemed to me that the cowling was too close to the water making that dig in.
Was that at the OB World Championships?

My TS2 did that during a race. The amazing thing is the engine was still running when it popped back out of the water. [X(] I ended up winning the heat.

No Ron that was at our National event in Cape Town. The water conditions would have had most boaters running for the hills. We had a consistent 3 inch swell and this happened twice with this boat. At the time it went in it made such a cavern that the engine still pushed it deeper. You could hear the motor curgling before it stopped. It was spectacular.
