I’m guessing the concept of “center of gravity” is something the builder of that boat wasn’t burdened with any knowledge of.

Talk about a shallow draft that capsized “boat” looks more like a raft...”heck, we can add another deck and make twice as much money.”

As a commercial passenger vessel, it has to have a USCG stability letter.

My guess is the crew tried to get to shore but instead of keeping the bow straight on to the swells they panicked and turned broadside.

Nor was the ship builder familiar with the hefty nature of Texas size women.

yep ... boat looks just a wee bit top heavy when all the passengers are sight-seeing on the upper deck ...
