Not sure if you guy saw this. I guess the guy hooked it on the Fox River up in Illlinois. :eek:

If its still there I could use that GPS speedo.

This is a sad sight though... too many already.

When was this? No leaves on the trees and my trees are at full bloom.

Looks like he got ran over.

Thats from a few months ago. I don't remember exactly what happened. Something like he was TRYING to spin out. No other boats were involved and as far as i know, no one was seriously hurt.

That was posted here before.
I recall the guy was doing a series of high speed turns and it rolled. Boat was brand spank'n new.
Sunsation was doing an investigation as to how/why it happened. But haven't heard what the findings were.

The OSO investigation concluded that the guy opperating the boat was an ASZHOLE!

I later heard the insurance company is refusing to pay off on the boat because the driver refused a breath test.
Also heard he went and bought a 42' Fountain.

Never know if the rumors are true butthey sure are interesting!

Contrary to recent "offshore" racing, these boats were designed to go fast in a straight line not turn all over the place like a jetski, If the intended purpose was to make wild high speed turns they would be a lot wider with flatter bottoms

No wonder it was so hard to spin out my 42' Hatteras, now I know.
