Wear those lanyards! MTI down.

[Tank]

Got texts from friends yesterday of this wreck at the tickfaw run. Running 130 in a turn, boat hooked, pitched everyone out l, boat kept on truckin’. Everyone is ok. Boat, not so much.

Don’t actually know if the lanyards were on or not. At those speeds and narrow waterways of tickfaw, biat could’ve easily ran that far up even after engines shut off.

But it does give a good visual reminder of lanyard use either way.

 

[MeCasa16]

Holy shit!! That’s wild..

 

[Ace in the Hole]

Saw it on TikTok, crazy

 

[DLC]

That will buff out….

 

[jesco]

Oh shit... I bet that was a wild ride!!! That sucks, glad they are all ok.

 

[Fastdadtsmith]

That could have had a terrible ending. Glad it's just the boat.

 

[SKIDMARC]

Glad the boat ran aground rather than hitting another boat.

Holy Fuhhhhhkkkk

It looks like it cleared quite a swath of trees on its way to the final resting place!

And all on board were OK exiting the boat at over 100 MPH??

 

[eand28]

Hitting the water over 30mph doesn’t feel great. Can’t imagine over 100mph

It appears at least two of those trees were over 12" in diameter. They were snapped off a few feet above the ground, indicating the boat was still airborne some distance the shoreline.

Cutting down those trees as if they were toothpicks required a huge amount of kinetic energy. After being tossed out at 100 MPH, it's a bit of a miracle the occupants weren't seriously injured or killed.

This happened at my local lake back East….one person in the boat (big Donzi) driver got pitched, boat circled him for atleast 20 minutes killing the driver…boat eventually ran ashore 30’-40’ inland.

 

[RichL]

WOW!

 

[hallett21]

That’s a miracle no one was killed.

 

[rivermobster]

Unreal.

Sounds like a terrible way to go..

 

[crzy2bealive]

Wow crazy

 

[Drew]

Wow! I hope everyone is ok and he was paying his $50000.00 a year insurance .

I’ve often wondered what it actually costs to insure a boat of that caliber. Same with say a m35/41/44. 340/390x etc.

 

[C-Ya]

Just a little buffing……… and the boat will look good as new!

 

[C_J_J_C]

I still can't afford it.

 

[81Sprint]

Can't imagine how scary that must have been, crazy they survived.

 

[Ziggy]

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Honestly if I was a passenger I’d seriously think about bailing out on water rather than riding with the boat through the trees. Yeah water isn’t fun but I think it’s better deceleration than tree braking.

ETA. I hope the occupants were wearing their life jackets. Doesn’t guarantee a happy outcome but better than not wearing them.

Shame about the boat but it can be repaired/ replaced. People can’t be so at least they are ok.

 

[RiverDave]

Looks at the size of the tree this guy took out and it didn’t cut the boat in half.. that is a serious testament to their construction methods..

Oh damn

They should hang that front end in their showroom

Did Vin cut down that tree??

340/390x, 37R etc in the $3800-$4500 range with 450's. 1350 power DCB's I was quoted close to $12K by my carrier.

Considering the cost of ownership/maintenance that doesn’t sound bad to me.

 

[RandyH]

Hey, you scratched my Pine Tree.
The deceleration must have been intense. I would go get my Retinas checked.

Holy hell... those are some photos .... especially the one showing boat mowing down a forest.... "Running 130 in a turn" got my attention

 

[jetboatperformance]

Crazy !

 

[bonesfab]

Damn. That was impressive. A few rolls of duct tape and they can make Desert Storm.

 

[Wheeler]

pump your brakes Oh little one. you've been duped.

 

[chopperx]

 

[Socalx09]

That is a scary sight. Glad no one was killed.

That’s honestly a lot lower than I expected. Crazy the money it costs to maintain and Insure these things before they’re even used

 

[LakeMeadLavey]

A new project for Upstate Powerboat. Has anyone seen the massive repairs these guys do? Beyond impressive what the can save and repair.

If you haven't heard of them check out their IG/FB @upstate_powerboat has some great content

Im with you. So this boat cost an owner roughly over 3 years 36-45k and now he can get a new one. Not bad lol.

And I’m only being humorous since no one got seriously hurt/killed.

 

[Wheeler]

Unreal.

He should have attended one of RD's docking seminars.

 

[LakeMeadLavey]

@Tank at first glance I thought this may have been a Kilrtoy sighting for those of you who remember

 

[River Runnin]

DAMMMMMN!!!! That's fooked up!!

 

[eand28]

Did that just happen over the weekend? There’s nothing online other than on here and Instagram about it

 

[RitcheyRch]

Sad to see and glad no one was seriously injured or killed.

When the boat hooks in a turn at 130mph, you aren't thinking about anything

 

[Mcob25rg]

I’ve said it before- I’ve passed up rides because of my evaluation of talent of owner. $ DOES NOT equal skill/judgement. I’ve restricted occupancy in my own because I wanted to let it eat, at my own risk. These will all kill you if you let them. 130 mph is no joke, I don’t care what name is on the hull.

Yup... I'm good with 60 mph thanks
