I cried... One of my favorite boats. I had the pleasure of running it once and ridding a couple times.

"Witness Michael Wilmoth said his boat was overtaken by the craft that crashed.

"I was probably doing about 80-85," he said. "They were doing over 100."

lol, christ......

That's probably the most powerful Cigarette, pound for pound, that you could build to date. You'd need to SERIOUSLY know what's up when running that boat hard.

Barring one of those steel monsters you can see for miles, sometimes it's better to just run those plastic bouys/crabpots over when you're running fast, rather than risking an accident to miss it.

I'm sure glad everyone is alive. They really got lucky on this one.

Obviously God used all his power to save them and not the Dallas Mavericks. I’m going to the game again tonight, God please help the MAVS.

On a serious note, yes the captain of this boat is a lucky guy and so is his crew.

Cheer up! Cigarette didn't cut up the mold after they made that one and can make more.

It's still a shame.....

A fine, expensive powerboat like that rolled is depressing.

Not everyday everyone on board survives a roll over at those speeds....definately a miracle since they hadn't been wearing any life jackets. Good to hear everyone is alright.

That is the very boat that made me a big fan of the 39...absolutely love everything about that boat.

Sad - luckily no one died. More bad publicity for the sport and the brand.

Good point, definately a bad thing to happen in this economy with the industry where it is already.
