waked 12' motorboat
 
Tuftonboro, August 19-afternoon, 2025: Runaway boat .... http://www.wmur.com/article/runaway-...81925/65824693 ...... on Lake Winnipesaukee after operator stumbles overboard.

Were it a rowing boat, and not a motoring boat, this 12' vee hull would have danced over incoming big wake with no problem. 12' row boat is much less tippy-wippy than same 12' motor boat because the rower sits in the center of the row boat ..... ;)

A 12' vee hull with a single rower seated in the center will easily ride up and over an incoming 2'6" wake while the same 12' vee hull with an outboard motor is much more likely to upset the operator because all the weight, the motor, gas tank, and operator is in the stern.
