This took place a couple of miles from my home. From what I understand, he is on the maiden voyage of his new boat.

I am guessing the starboard side has significant damage.

I just hope he doesn’t take his new boat near my boat…….

Everyone's insurance rates just ticked up.
I'm guessing something happened w/ the steering system to cause that? Bummer deal for them. I like how nobody in the boat seemed to do anything, as if everything was normal. 😄

Maybe they are used to it, he probably drives his car the same way. ;)

Let’s just say that there was a problem with the steering………… REVERSE lol

What you guys are not seeing……….

On the other side of the waterway, where he is, is the Coral Ridge Yacht Club. Had this happened with him going towards the other side of the intracoastal……… he would have T-boned a multimillion dollar yacht.

Also……… He had to fill out a boating experience questionnaire from his insurance company. I wouldn’t be surprised if they deny the claim, if they watch the video. In my opinion………. he never at any time did he pull the sticks back. That boat keeps a continuous rpm through the entire incident.

The funniest post in this thread is post #8. Grandpa resembles Joe Biden. lol
