Re: Honeyman Skater crashes in Az.
its called haveing to turn hard to avoid a jackass in a smaller boat that decided to stop in front of us, we had to power up the out side eng to make the turn, we hit some big wakes at the same time, it didnt seem like we were goin over untill i got sucked out of the boat, but you guys know better than me,

Re: Honeyman Skater crashes in Az.
the boat rolled over slow, i thougt he had saved it but then it tipped up again and we went over, so for all you guys that think we were going faster i have this question, how did 8 people get out of this accident with no one getting hurt,?

I'm not trying to blame anyone, thankfully you are all ok! That's just the way your post reads.

How do you put 8 people in a 36 skater?
Why would you throttle with the outside motor in an emergency turn/avoidance?
How big would you say this wake was to tip over a 10' beam boat?
When this other boat cut you off, did it stay in your path (imagine somebody cutting you off on the highway) or did they cut across your path (like an intersection)?
When you were "sucked" out, were you one of the people who didn't have a seat in the 5/6 person skater?
Why did a stolen (presumably) cig tow you in? (you may not know the answer to that one but i figured i might ask)

we had were turing to go into the marina, a wakeboard boat had cut into our path and stopped. we were slowing down. but there ws no one in our path that was moving slower that us at the time, the water had close to 3' wakes and thats with the turn was what caused us to turn over,
