In that particular incident the court determined it was 75% driver fault, 25% Malibu LX. Could have just as easily been 80% driver, 20% in another Malibu or Mastercraft or Nautique open bows. They're not that different. Some 'better', some 'worse' depending how they're loaded. With all tournament ski boats a bit of weight shift could change the ratios either way considerably. Could have been 60% driver, 40% any Mal, MC, SNOB, Moomba, Centurion, etc fault if say they had a some weight under dash, near empty fuel tank, heavy driver and 2 heavy observers, etc moving the CoG forwards and lowering the bow gunwale. With runabout open bows generally being higher the driver % needs to be greater for an incident to occur, but it can still occur.
We all need to be aware, use good seamanship (seapersonship?) and be careful as it can happen to any boat.
