Looks like he was coming in too hot. When I was in high school, same size sport fisher was stuck in the surf at IRI and had to get towed out by the Coast Guard. Luckily there was no damage, I think it was just engine problems. While they were waiting for the Coast Guard, they were throwing all their beer overboard. Yup, we snagged all of it. HA HA
here's the same size boat (boston whaler Montauk 17) making it out boynton inlet on a much bigger day
