Dumbass Close Call

[Rickybobby]

Thats whats kinda of cool about this place, we live and play in a fairly small world/pond and this "cat" got caught ON VIDEO doin something questionable and then got called on it.... which is how it should be, hard to hide a boat like that anyway.... I am betting whether he takes responsibility or not, he would rather not be the "butt" of at least 206 posts !!!!!

 

[Deano]

What's the over under on someone getting a piece at the regatta this weekend?

 

[rivergames]

That wouldn't fly in Parker. Yea Parker is close boating, but that is just plain fucking retarded. Myself and everyone else I know would be after that guy for pulling that move

 

[Yldboyz]

Wow, that was f'n too close

 

[TomD]

Looks pretty crowded and goin 4 wide in a narrow streach of water. Not a good situation.

 

[Joker]

I don't go to Parker but RD said this was ok and normal.

 

[RiverDave]

I don't go to Parker but RD said this was ok and normal.

I think I said I wouldn't get so upset about it that I would start a thread on the Internet..

 

[Bobby V]

I dunno.. I guess I'm a Parker boater. They looked pretty par for the course in Parker.. Not sure what the big deal is? He wasn't hauling ass, and he didn't roost you..

I'd live and let live, but again I'm used to close quarter boating like that. I literally wouldn't even think anything of it.

You guys really won't like Parker.. Lol

If nobody got wet your good

Something like that.

 

[Joker]

Yes, I think you said that. Im still not going boating there. It's not worth risking my kids life.

 

[Essexive G's]

I'm not promoting anything.. Or endorsing anything.. Just saying that pass, is made multiple times every weekend in parker, and you just get kind of used to it after awhile. Up by the dam where 2Driver is, it would damn near be impossible to get to the dam itself on plane without going by a few boats like that on a busy weekend.
Yep..

This spot you speak of, isn't that the same spot about 5 years ago where the guy in the 27' open bow Layvey tried to go through there on plane, and ran over the guy on the Sea Doo, and the dive team had to go diving for his arm? If so, you're right, there is some close call boating up there.

 

[RiverDave]

Something like that.

I believe there were a few posts before that? I'm not gonna go back and read the whole thread.

That'd be the spot. You can go through on plane, but hauling ass isn't recommended..

[aka619er]

I think this might just be another chink in the armor of the new age of 21st century boating. We all use to wave at each other passing and were always willing to stop and help those in need while expecting and wanting nothing in return. Now I see more and more people wanting everyone out of their ways or acting as if nothing but their entertainment is of importance.

I know I'm not speaking about how everyone boats but, times are a changing.

 

[Runs2rch]

Thats how last Saturday looked going through. Some asshole passed us 10 ft away. We were cruising 35-40. Too many stupid sob's.

 

[Rivertoys]

Won't be long, the whole gorge will be no wake.... The narrows south of the bridge for sure is next. I have not heard that, but I predict it.

That's where I boat about 90% of the time, and my personal observation is that too many of the big cats are just too reluctant to slow down in traffic.

 

[STEPPCHILD]

...am wondering if the AzzHat in the DCB owns a PitBull too...:rolleyes

Spot on observation IMO. :thumbsup:thumbsup

No need to call people names.

 

[She's Mine]

I think I said I wouldn't get so upset about it that I would start a thread on the Internet..

Wow... wasn't your opinion a little different on the Lake Cumberland fly by?

Just wondering whats the difference except for the fact that people are anchored rather than just cruising minding their own business?

I was there that day....that guy was driving like an idiot (for hours) on a holiday weekend at higher than needed speeds and it is ended up taking a life. He was also intoxicated.

I go through that area on plane all the time...heck our place is in the middle of it.....going through traffic on plane in Parker is 180 so different than what this DCB is doing....this guy was hauling ass 4 wide directly behind someones wake and had to take evasive action before hitting someone and got lucky. Its so wrong...and the guy should have apologized. We have all had our close calls due to judgement but you need to own them.

 

[Paul65k]

if your dumbass would of got out of the way, you wouldntof been washed down.....:thumbsup

I think you might be just a little harsh there Mr. MilkMoney Sir......with all due respect :rolleyes

Probably more like a 35 MPH speed limit but even that would be a PIA cuz no one would pay attention anyhow:thumbsdown

 

[blackbart]

id like to see the pitchers from the guy on the back with the telafoto taking pics he seemed amazed

 

[Racey]

You guys really won't like Parker.. Lol

If nobody got wet your good

Good, Parker's Closed :thumbsup

I wouldn't bat an eye at this after boating in parker, hell even Arrowhead over the years....

What's the acceptable limit? because a failure can still cause an accident with 30' of separation, which would be HUGE in some areas of the river....

 

[smallblocksperry]

I think I said I wouldn't get so upset about it that I would start a thread on the Internet..

woudlnt get upset and start a thread? thats one benefit of this place.... calling people out when they do stupid shit, when i wrecked my flatbottom all by myself with noone else in the close proximity everyone and their mother had to voice their opinion about how "reckless" i was, i am glad they did talk shit because maybe thats what it took to knock some sense into me. Flatbottoms are made for flat water.

but saying you boat in Parker and this is normal is bullshit, i'd chase this guy down and beat his ass if he came up on me like that. He should have slowed down seeing that there was already 3 boats wide and a narrow path to go through. Being a "big boat boater now" you have to constantly be scanning for boats/people/objects etc. and im in a 100mph 26'cat, this guys in a 32ft twin engine cat.

i guess the lesson here is dont drive slow boats, everyone needs to go buy a DCB and be a "big boat fag" haha

 

[Patyacht]

Dam someone brought this thread up from the dead and just in time for the DCB Regatta. Stay tuned for a follow on! LOL

 

[Rivertoys]

Seems to be a lot of this type of reply... But I am wondering, is that a blanket statement regardless of how the guy responds? We all make bad calls from time to time, what if the guy owned it? "Hey, sorry dude! My attention was on the other boats and I didn't see you until the last second. I made a split second call to go around, probably not the best choice." or something along those lines...

Or is it pitchforks and torches regardless? :smackbum:

Its so wrong...and the guy should have apologized. We have all had our close calls due to judgement but you need to own them.

I was there that day also. We saw the guy go by us a few times, and said to ourselves that that guy was gonna kill somebody, like we do many times over the course of a weekend at Parker. I also found out after the accident that he had been drinking, and had his kids in the bow when he ran over the guy. My question was a little loaded tongue in cheek to see who would respond, and how the response would be.
For 20 years while my kids were growing up we boat camped at Mohave out of Cottonwood Cove. We became accustomed to being the only boat on the water during the week, and did not stray to far from the Marina, or our beach in case something happened to the boat because it could have been hours before even being spotted as a boat in trouble. The first time I had put the boat in at Parker was on July 4th because one of our family members invited us who has a mobile out there. I was scared shitless. Boats, Jet Skis, canoes. People tubing, wakeboarding, sking while boats are going by us with 50 ft. doing 50 mph. My head was on a swivel like I was part of a figure 8 Demolition Derby. It was way worse than driving on the freeway. Flash forward to today, and we have our own place on the strip, and boat primarily on the strip with the occasional trip up to havasu.
Like someone else said earlier that if you're not saying "oh shit, does that guy see us" two,or three times a weekend, you must be boating in January while it raining. I know the heightened dangers of Parker, all of us who boat there do. Here's the thing, even though we know the increased chances of an accident in Parker, we also know that if we broke down that we would not have to worry about holding the boat off the rocks in the back of some cove that we drifted into hoping that someone comes by and sees us before dark.
We all have an opinion on what we think is right, wrong, or as Dave is, indifferent on the OP's video. I don't post much due to the fact that every opinion turns in to a pissing match of who's opinion can be heard the loudest.
I boat at night. Dave boats at night. Alot of people think that boating at night is too dangerous, and would never put their family in that unsafe situation. Ok, that's fine. I'm not going to try to sell them that it is not dangerous. I'm sure it is. Dave would probably agree, but too dangerous to not do it? Now, if you add in the fact that I boat at night on PLANE! Oh shit, now Dave is on the other side of the fence. Now Dave thinks it is too dangerous to drive on plane at night. Where does that leave me now? Somebody thinks I'm crazy for boating at night, now I have another opinion that tells me that I'm crazy for boating at night while on plane. I still think that it is safe enough to do. I don't drink while the boat is in the water. Once it is either beached, or on the trailer, WATCH OUT cause I've got to catch up with all the drunk asses who I've been hauling around all day. Now here is the rub, I have a freind who thinks it is okay to have a couple beers throughout the day, and then go to the Bluewater in his boat after dinner. There are some people who would give the impression that that is ok as long as ________( fill in the blank) as long as what? I think it is too dangerous to drink, then drive a boat on plane at night in Parker. Dave thinks it is too dangerous to drive a boat on plane at night in Parker. John Doe thinks it is too dangerous to drive a boat at night in Parker. Jane Doe thinks it is too dangerous to drive a boat on Parker. My mom thinks it's too dangerous to drive a boat.
I could post the same about pulling a tube in Parker. Some say never, some say weekdays only, some say never on holidays, on, and on, and on. Same could be said for driving piss poor maintained boats. Same thing could be said for riding motorcycles on the freeway, rollercoasters, surfing .. on, and on, and on.

I just find it pecular, and by posting this I'm gulty of it myself that we all think that our opinion matters, and is more level headed than the next guys opinion, and that's what drives RDP.

That's my opinion, and I'm sticking with it.

 

[New to boating]

Nope, he's a douche-bag.

In case you are new to the site, you have to have realistic expectations about River Dave and the "Inmates".. Here, on River Daves you are prohibited from every saying anything critical of DCB's or their owners, Bob Teague and a list of others that River Dave stands in "awe" of no matter what the subject, or behavior being discussed, River Dave and a long list of members of the "belonger group" will quickly rip on you.

This should come as no surprise since we know from River Dave's prior posts that the pinnacle of his life was "being on the guest list at the Islander, so he could get past the gate to go for a test ride in the new DCB M-41 race boat (which is not a race boat), with the "in house race driver" Tony (who we don't believe has ever actually been in actual powerboat race or driven an actual race boat but is known to be a very nice Guy who is the salesman at DCB with a lot of pleasure operation boat hours in DBC boats).

Just to help with more "insider information". There is some Guy named Tom Brown, at least that's what his posts say his name is. He is the subject of a lot of posts, mostly heckling him. You should be aware not to ever disagee with anything he says or thinks because he will likely lash out at you (he seems incredibly angry) or let you know you are "the biggest dousche on the site" which is an interesting declaration to make about someone else coming from a Guy who's life is clearly centered around a local boating (or non-boating "sally is drinking coffee", what do you guys think? ) website that generally has about 100 people on the plant who care.


I could go on, but I'm sure you get the idea. Obviously the guy in the most beautiful, best handling, fastest, best rigged, boat on the planet, the DCB Guy who is the subject of this thread did nothing wrong, he just is so proud of his boat he wanted to give everyone a closer look, so they could all dream about being him some day, just like River Dave and his "inmates" do.

Have you tried a different prop?

Wow... wasn't your opinion a little different on the Lake Cumberland fly by?

Just wondering whats the difference except for the fact that people are anchored rather than just cruising minding their own business?

I wrote this later a couple of times, but I'll say it once more.. I'm not sure why this one didn't bother me nearly as much as the cumberland fly bye's.. I don't have a great reason for it, other then maybe the speed.. This guy in the DCB was doing like 50-60, the guys in cumberland were doing well in triple digits.. The other is maybe just the nature of the videos? In this one you see the guy running up on you, you see him make a course correction, and even though it's CLOSE the picture becomes very clear that he isn't going to hit the boat pretty early on in the video.. The other ones are basically "Holy shit, look at this guy coming at me at 160+" sometimes within 25' of boats? And then there's the fly by vids, where the green skater goes by and it's like "Wow.. that was close" then the next one comes by on the inside of that and you think "What the fuck are these people doing out there?" There was an entire lake why run that fast next to the spectator fleet etc..

Probably not the greatest reasons, but you asked, and I'm honest with you which is all I can give.

In case you are new to the site, you have to have realistic expectations about River Dave and the "Inmates".. Here, on River Daves you are prohibited from every saying anything critical of DCB's or their owners, Bob Teague and a list of others that River Dave stands in "awe" of no matter what the subject, or behavior being discussed, River Dave and a long list of members of the "belonger group" will quickly rip on you.

This should come as no surprise since we know from River Dave's prior posts that the pinnacle of his life was "being on the guest list at the Islander, so he could get past the gate to go for a test ride in the new DCB M-41 race boat (which is not a race boat), with the "in house race driver" Tony (who we don't believe has ever actually been in actual powerboat race or driven an actual race boat but is known to be a very nice Guy who is the salesman at DCB with a lot of pleasure operation boat hours in DBC boats).

Just to help with more "insider information". There is some Guy named Tom Brown, at least that's what his posts say his name is. He is the subject of a lot of posts, mostly heckling him. You should be aware not to ever disagee with anything he says or thinks because he will likely lash out at you (he seems incredibly angry) or let you know you are "the biggest dousche on the site" which is an interesting declaration to make about someone else coming from a Guy who's life is clearly centered around a local boating (or non-boating "sally is drinking coffee", what do you guys think? ) website that generally has about 100 people on the plant who care.


I could go on, but I'm sure you get the idea.

Anyone who spends a decent amount of time in Havasu has probably met this guy (in the DCB that is)... and would think he's pretty decent. I know I have. Just sayin'.

OK so I decided to actually respond to this..

New2Boating, racing a boat at some point in your life doesn't make you a "great driver." I have never understood why people say that other then it strokes there own ego and somehow tries to put them on a platform above the mere mortals that haven't graced a race course. Why don't you describe to me what it is that you think makes a great boat driver and how boat racing somehow made that better. I'll describe to you what I think makes a great boat driver and how racing has nothing to do with it.

One of your fellow boat racers demonstrating some of that talent learned on the race course.. LOL (Nice throttling by the way)

Ask the driver of the pontoon and being responsible for his passengers he was PISSED.
