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!!!!

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

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?

Brian is correct mostly. Why this thread was started as an accident thread I DON'T KNOW.
It was a error in judgment on a very foggy morning where the run had all ready been delayed for a short period of time. The fog did not set in until after the run had started. It was a minor incident that has become a big mistake. The owner and I are friends. There were four people on board and like Brian said it was a soft grounding in muck. No one was hurt the boat was just not able to be removed by driving it due to the owner not wanting to incur any damage trying to remove it himself. Called BoatUS and well let's just say got screwed due to their errors also in trying to pull the boat off. Scrapes to the skegs are all that happened.
