Actually, that's a good question. There was a MacX in the Oakland
estuary a number of years ago. The guy emptied the ballist in preparation
for putting it on his trailer. Unfortunately, he was a bit slow, and a big
wake knocked it over... or so I'm told.

Also note that the claimed speed of 24 MPH is with a 50 HP motor, one
person aboard, no water ballast,
