Thanks

B. There is no war and no truce needed, this is the internet.Fair enough.

C. If I'm not allowed to talk about monsoon blowing drives, you're not allowed to talk about the $30,000 kick in the nuts that I got last year. Sounds fair enough to me. Am I sensitive about it? Yes
I don't care about the drives that I've blown. It happens. That's what warranty is for.

D. I'm not in the office, If you do have a need to call me back you will have to call my cell.
n/c

E. Your a moderater right? Delete the thread. I didn't have anything to do with it until my phone started ringing this morning.
I can't delete a thread in bias to any manufacturer.

F. I am truely glad that no one was hurt in the alleged incident. I am sure that no one is looking to flame AT on this, but people are curious about the circumstances. I don't know them. Maybe some details could prevent the same thing from happening to someone else. As I have already said, running aground in the fog can happen to anyone in any brand of boat. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with active thunder.Great, but I am unsure of why you put your original comment up about starting a new thread about an AT mishap on a Poker Run on Pat's thread. I don't need an answer. I'll just continue to wonder.

G. That's all I have to say, except that Steckz is a homo with no boat. :drink:
Apparently Allan4 is a putz as well.

Well it came off that way and you brought it back up and for the life of me I can't understand why when it was long gone and forgotten. Or is it that the members (cult) should be back now and you want them to see it????? It seemed to me that Pat put an end to with his last comment.

If it were a friend of mine, I would want to go undercover with it too not wanting to make it the ONLY thing the guy was known for. That wouldn't be fair. And yes there's lots and lots that never make it to the board and that's a good thing. Sometimes it CAN get to be like "Desperate Man-wife's" on here where's it's nothing but idle gossip. Men aren't supposed to be that way.

Now what I'm interested in is where this incident took place, and at what point the boat entered the fog bank. Kinda like JFK jr flying into the muck getting disoriented ending up in a death spiral...Lessons learned from a pilot's perspective. There's lessons to be learned in this incidence too......heading to work, check ya later.

I'm glad it wasn't a FAJA:hitfan::cool-smiley-027:

Driver Stupidity. Good example on why these new powerboat owners should be trained on the boat operation before being let loose.

Regardless of any amount of training there are two kinds of boaters - ones that have run aground, and ones that have lied about not running aground:D:D

My buddy laid down his Fat Boy years ago, a lady slammed on the brakes in front of him and he went down right before hitting her, the motorcycle cop that showed up to the scene had the same scenario about Motorcycle Riders!!!!:D:D

You know Hillary sabotaged that plane, otherwise she could not have been a senator in New York.:D

I am not disagreeing with Pat's assessment. He was a sales rep for Sonic for 20 years, and has been selling AT-s for a couple years. I didn't want anyone to think this was an untrained new boat owner, or someone that got a "free demo boat" or something like that; all speculations which have been launched on this thread.

The thread starter wanted details, details, details, even though he already knew them. I was just adding some more. :D

I think that's just about everything that could be said about this event. I know I'm typed out.

That is EXACTLY right.

Why haven't the obligatory lanyard beatings started, or the personal insults to the driver by the self appointed OSO jury?? No crying about insurance rates rising, especially by boatless keyboard jockeys?? Those are usually standard protocal once it's been confirmed no one is dead from the accident. I see nothing that makes this any different? :rolleyes:
