Wow big boat slid pretty far wonder how fast?

So that HAS to be an OSO member...Who's gonna fess up?

Tell him I'll give him 50k for the boat! He isn't going to be driving it again for a while!

By the looks of the stained bottom it wasn't driven much.

Crazy, some people just have no business boating.

Last weekend leaving a nice hang out on the chesapeake a similar boat with a captain who was not capable hit my boat and then planted his 40+ ft cruiser on the beach!

You should have seen the people scrambling on the sand......

Luckily we were both at idle speed. I got by with a few nicks and scuffs top side. Floored it to try and sneak by when I realized he just plain wasn't turning. But he still pushed me and bent both skegs on the bottom and chewed up one prop.

Then he went up on the sand and had to reverse pretty hard to pull it out!!

And I had just got my Fiance convinced boating was safe again...that went out the window!

Lots of incidents are happening on the Barnegat Bay right now. People need to really focus and concetrate a little more on boating than just pleasure before more people get hurt or lose their lives.
