| Roll a boat? Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and I have a question. I've been told it's impossible to roll a boat over by turning too sharp, is this true? |

| No, it's not true. It depends on the type of boat, the shape of the hull, the power and speed. However, on hard chine boats like a jon boat, it is relatively easy to catch a chine and flip the boat.
