Lousy sailboat, lousy powerboat.

There you go, passing judgment on something you know little or nothing
about. Shame on you, Harry.

There are some serious issues with the boat in question, especially
when overloaded, and especially when operated with no ballast. I've
had quite a bit of sailing experience and would not even consider
taking more than 4 or 5 people on a boat like that. The manufacturer
needs to do a lot more to raise safety awareness but they are intent
on selling the boat to the inexperienced who really want to believe
that it can do anything.
