[lIQUIDATEDdAMAGES]

That'll mess up your Saturday...

 

[OutCole'd]

Crane is there.

 

[Mini Kat]

That's going to leave a mark! But if that was at site #6 it would be no big deal...:fsakes

 

[waterhorse]

Re-enacting the scene from The Great Outdoors at the marina?

 

[Raffit78]

Looks like a throttle issue.

Holy shit! That sucks!!!!

 

[Raffit78]

Hope everyone can see that link, trying to upload the video to vimeo.

 

[Carlson-jet]

Looks like a lanyard could have made that into a non event. Bummer.

 

[TBI]

Wow! That's fuckin crazy!
hopefully nobody was hurt?

 

[Raffit78]

Not sure if anyone was hurt, just so happened our friends were in a boat right next to him that saw it happen. Thankfully no one was launching where his boat stopped. That could have been real bad.

 

[Cole Trickle]

Wtf.....what happens there?

Rookie operator with no idea on how to work off shore controls?

Your buddy can probably get some coin for that video :thumbsup

So, what happen?

 

[djunkie]

Oh damm!!!!

 

[Raffit78]

From the video, it looks like his throttle was having issues. He puts it in reverse, the boat takes off, then it looks like he slams it in forward throttle, looks like it stayed wide open.


It was either selling the video to tmz or distributing it to rdp. We chose rdp

 

[waterboy]

I think inexperience with offshore throttles,

 

[aka619er]

Holy shit......

I know accidents happen but I'm thinking operator error. Pull lanyard, turn key, kick into neutral......

 

[stokernick]

lots of money, no brains!:skull

 

[shippingguy]

That guys was parked next to me at Moabi last weekend. Glad he did not have issues coming into the beach!!!

 

[Hammer]

Link not working on my phone...

[Sbarry]

Missed neutral by [...] that much !

Ouch, that sucks.

 

[TBI]

Looked to me like a roll bar boat roller pushed him up the ramp :hmm

That sucks, glad nobody was hurt

 

[primetime]

I am guessing it is someone who thought(keyword) had boaters experience.ouch

 

[cmayer]

Looks like his prosthetic arm fell off during the approach.

[OCMerrill]

That guy tried the wrong prop.

 

[was thatguy]

Man that sound is just sickening!!!:yikes

Departure, approach, wreck.. Hard to tell WTF was going on other than lack of knowledge.

When I was 16-17, I worked on a 68 Camaro belonging to a girl at school. 68's had solid linkage from the firewall to the carb. After rebuilding the carb and a tune-up I took it for a test drive. When I hammered it from a stop sign at a "T" intersection making a left, a broken motor mount reared its ugly head. The motor lifted and held the throttle wide open to my disbelief. I did one doughnut and realized I had two choices, push in the clutch or hit the key. At that young age I knew where the true disconnect existed and I hit the key so hard it almost twisted into two pieces.

The Dude in the vid panicked like a school girl and should sell the vessel until further examination of his skills are assessed and properly addressed.

That's why jet boats are great. Never have to worry about that problem.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Looks like he didn't know what he was doing to begin with. WHy was he all revvin' so high anyways. Duh...


Demote that guy to a jet boat.

 

[CoolCruzin]

Looks like the case of brain fade. Thought he was in a sand rail .
Glad no one was hurt .

I bet if he was in a Pump dive it would have been worse. lol

 

[88vector]

I bet he could have used a rolled up towel to test the throttle function.

It's bote.

 

[elcajones]

Ouch, looks like he left the outdrive down and probably didn't connect the bow/winch. Still it would take a lot to pull a boat that size off the trailer.

 

[Ziggy]

Panic attack. Like watching all three stooges at once.

Watch the video...

 

[ICB1]

That would make a great All State commercial with Mayhem, just glad no one was hurt

 

[Carlson-jet]

Are some people seeing the boat was dragged back on to shore from the winch still being connected?
