Boat Damaged by rough seas

Boat damaged . Atlantic Beach Sea Salt Company took this at Beaufort inlet NC during the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament . Not sure the name of this boat but she almost went down in the inlet Glad they got back on the power awesome job Captain 👍🏻 and majors props to the Capt that did not hesitate to turn around to render aid and was able to communicate the damage  #theyallgohome

Technically you can't trim an inboard bow up with trim tabs. Yes, trim tabs go up and down, but when a trim tab iback in. Fully "up" position it is actually neutral and the boat is running as if no tabs. Trim tabs impact is only to bring the bow down on a boat. Everything else the boat itself does based on the hull. The captain had the tabs in a negative state and gave the boat throttle to raise the bow. A good job (bad at first spearing a wave in following seas) getting back in.

That’s a quality control issue. The boats in that category are nicknamed battle wagons for a reason. They are designed to be ran hard on the roughest of weather days. Something could have hit, but as uniform as the hole is, somebody didn’t do their job at the factory. The hull failed in between stringers.

[@whitecapmadness7181]

Its actually a poor design flaw. It looked good, but it was not capable of withstanding the force of water when stuffing the bow

[@Randymcsendy]

So these are shiplap hulls- glass over wood. A lot of them are pretty old. It’s not weird to see a boat from the 70s or 80s . If I were to guess at some point water made it into the front end of that boat and rotted the core up front. Could be something as simple as a bad instal on cleat bolts. But that’s not a situation in which that boat should have failed. Those are the situations they’re designed for.

Whether he was distracted, tired after fishing all day or what, who knows but he did outrun the wave he was riding, slowly.

No sand bar there, he's in the middle of the shipping canal entering Morehead City port, water depth 40-50 feet.

[@thatsbollox]

All he could see was some delamination and pulpit damage, not the wound itself because of the flare. I assume the first boat that came about radio'd him to put the gas down, bow right up, and do not stop...coz he could see the bow damage. Good work. Bad stuffing but perhaps it is shallow and the bow also struck ?? No idea, but good work getting on the throttles. Is there a deep water approach to a sandbar inside harbour where he could nudge the bow onto and assess before going to the marina...he'd be concerned for even the short time it takes for the other boats to pull up close and assess it for him and stand by. He doesnt even know how far down to waterline it goes.
