>From what I observed with the Mariner II was that the front bow was so well designed, I highly doubt there would be much submerging and subsequent cartwheeling like it did with my Nordkapp.< Just a little side note here, for whatever it's worth. A few years back I had the opportunity to take a Mariner Coaster out in the surf. For whatever reason, we do not see a lot of Mariner boats here in sunny Southern California. I was told that the boat would not pearl (burry it's bow). Skeptical, I took it out in about four to six foot surf and attempted to drop straight down off the face of every wave and sink that bow. I was amazed as I couldn't do it. Every time I thought that I was for sure going to bury the bow, at the last second it would pop right back up again and the boat would shoot forward on the wave. It was a whole lot of fun!
