I’ve owned many open bow ski boats. Ski Brendella Spectrum, MB Sports 190 plus , MC 197 , Malibu Rlxi, and currently 2017 Prostar. I have swamped every single one of them at one time or another. Don’t think so bad that a child would float out fhough. But if were going to call it a design flaw, its definitely not specific to the RLX! I think the liability should live with a person renting the boat if anyone at all besides the driver. He should’ve gone through the operation of the boat like they were complete rookies like they obviously were.
