I was on that POKER RUN and the fog was crazy thick. We were only doing 15- 20mph with a pack of 6 boats. I saw him pass us he must been doing 30-40mph.

That sounds very irresponsible for the conditions to me. But, what do I know. He was probably going faster then that to run a boat 1100 feet on shore without a trailer. Glad everyone is OK. |

This statement is "bingo" on the money. I don't think most on here care if an AT, Baja, Hustler, or Winnebago went into the marsh. I think most care that no-one was hurt. That is a blessing! |

Oh No you didnt go there:rolleyes::D Mine want be on plane at 15-20mph |
If it was a Cig it would have been 2200 feet in, those hulls are that much faster :food-smiley-007:

I know they don't like cypress trees:eek::D |
I am wondering why it was being kept such a secret, usually there is something more to it when there appears to be the silent treatment.
Everyone says they are fast, so it this the first accident??? Driver error or did something else happen? Glad nobody was hurt. |

Hey Brian Lighten up man
You can see my humor when one of our pace boats beached in the fog (I think it was 2003 SOTW) The fog was thick that day and came in hard and fast One of our pace boats got lost in the fog and ended up on the beach everyone was safe that is all that is important you can see my sence of humor about what happend at our event By the way this is the actual boat pic from him beaching then i made the cover over it Maybe I should get another boat. Look at all the fun I'm missing.:rolleyes: |

Boat US and same rape-scenario...... They claim it was a salvage even though it was only towed off a mucky sand botoom at high tide. Price: $5k. |

Hmmm, for 5k maybe i should buy a big tow line and cruise around looking for victims uhh I mean customers....Sux.
I agree, simply driver stupidity. In a light aircraft the NTSB would call it pilot error. All in all it is a good lessoon for all of us to be wayyyy cautious in low visibility conditions. I got stuck in the muck a few years ago on the ChesBay and luckily I had my hand held with me to keep me headed in the right direction at a slow troll. There's reason the big ships use the FOGhorns. Glad to hear both the boat and the crew were just fine except for a little ego and pocket spanking. |
Driver Stupidity. Good example on why these new powerboat owners should be trained on the boat operation before being let loose.

A few more tidbits of info:
He's not on OSO, but many folks on the east coast know him. He's been running powerboats since before I was born, so he's not new to it, or the area. He knew exactly where he was, and once he realized he was in trouble, being out of the channel and getting shallow, he attempted to navigate out of the shallow water. It was not 1100 feet straight in, albeit it was several hundred feet. The tow cable and path they took out was 1100 feet. Once he realized there was no getting out of the shallows, he trimmed it up and set it down. The boat was barely on plane. The drives lost about 2" of paint on the skegs. Once the boat was into deeper water, it was driven back to the trailer with no issues. |

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. |

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:

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 |

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.

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. |

Craig 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: |
