Sooooo very sad to hear.
Thoughts and prayers!
Thoughts and prayers!
REALLYMy heart goes out to the families...
But it appears inexperience with handling a 28' at high rate of speed is going to be the cause...
I don't want to be coaching from the bleachers, just a lesson to those who drive 80+ MPH then pulling "G" force turns
The ability to purchase a $100K boat should come with a warning labels
Sad day for all us on Rds Place
REALLY
YOU OWN A TWIN ENGINE BOAT AND LOST A MOTOR OR DRIVE AT 100 PLUS...
DOUBT YOU HAVE
So dont talk shit with out having the facts

Man I hate to agree with Kilrtoy, but Jesus Christ, two people probable dead and you're firing from the cheap seats with absolutely zero inside knowledge... Fuck me I wish all you rumor fags would find another site. How in the shit can any meaningful human being take pleasure and/or speculate about circumstances they have no fucking intricate knowledge of?

I doubt he was talking shit Miguel. He was simply making an observation of what happened.
Did u want him to not say anything if he saw what happened?
Not sure why u have a problem with his opinion, but oh well.
He didn't .... and well he is on the internet.. SO HE DONT KNOW SHIT
And you do? Thanks for clearing this up.
People are dead and this turns into a shoving match????
glad to see you are waiting around
but I AM NOT TALKING SHIT
I wanted to stay out of this discussion but I just got a call from a friend in Havasu that wanted to tell me about this accident. He began to specualte and then go into his personal opinion about boater safety and inexperienced people now being able to buy repo boats... Needless to say I stopped him in his tracks and reminded him of how inexperienced boaters were in the good times.
The reality is that any one of us and every one of us could have been in this situation.
So what does trying to put inexperience in to this equation have to do with anything? Should we create licensing programs and only let special people with special permits operate high performance boats? Should we only allow people who have owned a required number of boats to purchase high powered boats? Better yet... Why don't we get congress to decide who can buy a boat and only the people chosen by the congress can buy a boat...
How about this... A person looking to have a good time and enjoy their life decided to take some people out to the river on a boat. All of the people were having a great time and something went wrong causing a catastrophic event to occur... There was nothing more to the equation than something went wrong and thats that!
Its funny how life CAN'T happen. There always has to be something. Usually its booze. The driver of the boat had a drink or twenty and somehow or another there was an accident. We all know that in many of the accidents alcohol wasn't the cause but because there was alcohol involved alcohol was somehow to blame. In this situation something happened and since alcohol cant be blamed it's inexperience.
There are many people on these boards that are sheeple and want to jump to conclusions.... Not to mention have a lynching party for anyone they think did something they dont agree with.
If you own a boat and you have NEVER gone faster than you were "trained" to go or you own ANY motor vehicle for that matter and you have never done anything other than what the government says you can do... You are one of two things... 1. A liar or 2. you have never lived your life.
I give a big Fuck you to all of the sheeple jumping to conclusions. People will live their lives and you have no room to judge them.
I have a question....don't have a boat that can go 100mph+ but if you lose a drive does it usually result in hooking or potentially throwing people out...? Is there anything you can do as the driver? I would just like to understand the mechanics of going that fast and having a problem occur?
Oh, if that is the case...why aren't there more accidents since I know people lose drives all the time. You don't need to speculate on this particular accident but I'd appreciate some insight...
Prayers to all who were involved in this accident.
Signed up here to post a response in mike's defense. Am a good friend of the missing. And I will inform you all that this accident was not from lack of experience. Mike grew up around boats and has owned many boats from flat bottom drag boats all the way up to high powered 42' fountains. He owned a house out there around the lake and has been around that area for years. He is not a kid that went out and bought a 100,000 boat as I m pretty sure 100,000 might not even cover the motors in that boat. All of us from illinois are praying for the best. So if all you have is negative shit that has no truth in what ur saying keep it to ur self because we don't want to read it. Know the facts before you open your mouth or type it out! Over and out from Illinois

Missing boaters were located this morning. May they rest in peace. Wounds from this tragic event will be with friends and family for life. Hopefully each day is better than the previous one.
