Ok since this has happened 2 times I think I should tell my story just as a safety concern.

I was in a ODC 816 as well...I was fishing with a buddy and my dad at Clear Lake(m&m campground) I was off to the little island on the right about 50 yds offshore when the same thing happened. It wasnt hot, was early morning. Wasnt overinflated, I double checked. Anyways it creaked then flipped. I was holding my crankbait rod with a rattletrap on it when it flipped. when it popped the rod slipped and the ratletrap dug into inside of my legway past barb, so there I am slowly sinking and got a hook in my leg. Not good, I grabbed my expensive stuff and lost some minor stuff. A guy in a bayliner picked me up save almost everything. Took a 6 pack in less than 5 min to be able to ripthe hook out. 6 inches from....you know.

So on a safety note please be careful if you have this model. I thought when it happened to me that it was a fluke.

Deacon
