Damn, not good. If the family is good, that's a major plus. Feel bad for the owner though...that's a real nice boat.

 

[bk2drvr]

I can't imagine the feeling of seeing my boat like that. Glad everyone was okay.

 

[BingerFang]

Glad everyone is ok…. but man THAT SUCKS!

I wonder how it happened…. I don’t have Facebook so keep us updated.

 

[69hondo]

Is this Letterlys boat?

 

[Icky]

Happen last night?

 

[Blubyu]

Yeah, he had it listed for sale.

 

[CLdrinker]

Glad everyone is ok.

 

[69hondo]

Man, thats a bummer. Hope everyone is ok.

He said everyone is fine and they are waiting for Sheriff to release the boat so they can get it back on the trailer.

He just posted this.

Thought that was Dave Ferguson's DCB?

Yeah just saw that, glad all is ok for the most part.

 

[ChrisV]

Would that boat be salvageable? Besides electronics.

It is. He recently purchased it. Boat rolled at 40mph making a sweeping turn. Everyone is ok. Wife broke her collar bones. I just took this pic.

40 is barely on plane in that. Boat would have been running really wet, a big roller would just push it on its side.

Unfortunate...

 

[attitude]

What always scares me when driving or riding in a cat is having a sponson get caught in the trough between waves, at 40mph they would have been riding very wet.

I hope the damage is minimal and the family can get back to enjoying the river soon.

We had a friend roll their Eliminator in the same spot going about 40 mph. Glad everyone is ok.

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

Glad the family is mostly OK. Crazy to think boats like this are running in Parker these days.

 

[done]

That is a about 200 feet from the buckskin 90 degree turn, sharpest turn on the river, Years ago an HTM barrel rolled on the turn,

 

[grumpy88]

Thats a big boat for amateurs to try to flip back over. I hope a bad situation does not get worse .glad the family is ok

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Did they have their boater safety cards?

 

[DWC]

Glad everyone is ok. That’s scary stuff.

 

[King295]

Glad to hear everyone is largely okay. Looks like its in a good spot to hook the bow eye and pull her over. I planned on heading out today but work got in the way. I would have tossed my tow boat in the water to assist. I'm sure a few people will step up to help get it on the trailer.

 

[Marios Metalworks]

Good to hear everybody came out alive.

is there a professional recovery service out there?

 

[cakemoto]

Sucks.. Bryan is a good buddy.

 

[NicPaus]

Yes at the next turn up river at River Lodge is recovery Guy.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

I’m glad everyone was ok. If this was a rental boat many of you would be shaking your fists calling for more government regulation and boater licenses

Let’s remember that accidents can happen to anyone.

 

[Duramax]

They are trying to recover this on their own?

"Nothings broke, it just needs service!"
All kidding aside, glad they were able to walk way from that.

Single or a twin? Very easy to roll a twin if the turn arc is held too long. The inside prop will contact the center tunnel wash eventually and loose grip and the outside engine will spin the boat around. Simple to do in a twin unless you turn them the correct way.

Glad to see everyone is “ok”.

Is Boat US on the river for a recovery?

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

jezzus.. the comments on facespace... apparently now everyones a fucking expert.

Yes, numerous Bayliner racing experts. Always a wealth of valuable information.

Our friends was a single engine 25ft.

Yes but a 32 has twins.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Man…thats horrible but sounds like all will recover. Property isnt shit compared to a life.

paul…Did you say the wife broke collar bone(s). Thats gotta be unbearable pain if she broke both.

hope she isnt in too much pain but thats a tough one.

 

[Desert Whaler]

First time I remember running around those type of bluffs / sheer walls / turns in the river, I tripped out at how the current & eddies would shift the stern around.
I remember coming off-plane once thinking either my transom was separating, or my outboard was coming loose. Then I figured out what the deal was. LOL.
My rig was just a low power little shit-box, can't imagine what the forces must be like in a real boat with real power.
Glad to hear they are alive with only a couple busted bones.
Be safe peeps.

Yep. Gotta love it.

are these on River Whips, or the new River Whips little sister, RiverKarensPlace?

The River Karens only come out when it’s a rental or a jet ski. No one with a DCB has ever has an at fault accident.
