That sucks! Hope everyone heals quickly.

Ouch.

Dare I ask how someone hits a bridge? It’s not like it’s moving…

Have you not seen his view? I'd guess the boats motoring by have the ornaments on deck.

He lives in a high-rise building 20-30 floors up. His boat is below, docked. Probably how he keeps an eye on it.

Nice collection… Nothing gets by you!

If you haven’t tried them, gyro stabilized binoculars are amazing. Some are now around $800.00.

Interesting that he pegged the tips of both sponsons AND the center of the hull in between. Kind of weird. Must have hit multiple parts of the bridge?

 

[sonicss31]

Maybe, just maybe someone stopped to pee off the back and didn’t realize the strong currents bounced the boat off of the bridge columns.

Those binoculars are standard equipment among the elderly. When one gets to a certain age, everyone else's bizness becomes your bizness. Opening up the universe of things to complain about between watching Jeopardy reruns is a critical part of the retired lifestyle.

My 83 year old mother-in-law has perfected this. This morning at 3 AM a thunderstorm passed through, and blew over her potted mums and rolled a trash can down the driveway. She stopped by this morning and put in a good seven or eight minutes of indignation that such a thing could occur. Don't even get her started about the reckless drivers speeding along the county road that runs in front of her house.

@C-Ya will respond to this post after he wakes up from his nap, drinks his daily Ensure, and watches the afternoon news on Channel 8.

Where's the camera? Stills or video? Haha
It's good to be on top....

… alcoholic can be a contributing factor in a crash like this… Was out cruising around outside of the LA breakwater one night… And I heard help help and flashing light… Three guys had consumed a large amount of alcohol and smacked their 24 foot boat into the brake water..: Hooked a line to it towed over to the Coast Guard dock who intern put a pump on it… Don’t know if the Coast Guard ever confronted these guys about the alcohol consumption

You can see the tata's all the way at haulover with those specs!

Watch this……

This is where the pics came from. This is all everyone knows, so far……..

And it goes 138mph........
With 2 500 hp outboards????
Ahhh.... no, not quite.

Ahhh.... no, not quite.

The 44 ran 135 with 450s, I don’t think an extra 3 mph with another 100hp is out of reach.

Capable, yes…. Was it, VERY unlikely. There’s some silly sauce, and how enticing numbers coming from these 44s with 500s!

What she stated were conditions during the time of the incident, she's a reporter, not a damned CG-INV investigator ---- Night, Dark, Windy, Raining ---- Which if true, means whomever was at the helm, unless there was a mechanical malfunction will likely be blamed for operating at a speed greater than is reasonably prudent for prevailing conditions.

A reasonable conclusion based on an @rrrr post # 13 in this thread yesterday would also be that you're elderly.

But at least I have a sense of humor without being a troll.

Oh so you were trying to be funny --- got it, sorry I mistook it as mocking.

Someone get the geezers their Metamucil, they're bickering.

Almost as annoying as that bitch azz reporter!

She's Definitely not going for a ride in That boat, anytime soon.

Hope everyone is ok.

I'm an old geezer, but enjoy watching the other old geezers go at it....carry on.

The new owner turned it into a 430……..

The new owner turned it into a 430……..

With fully reclining center and passenger seats too --- now that's a bit puzzling.
