Sure didn't look like it was going that fast into the turn. That's what's scary.
Maybe he was a Jetski owner and just waiting for it to circle back around?

It is unfortunate. I asked months ago if this was a common trait with the Cigarette's and I am beginning to belive it is a Cigarette issue more than a driver issue.
A lot of those have done this exact same thing with a lot of different drivers and the results have been the same. They all got wet.
Glad it had Merc drives as that way all the blame has to be on the driver.

It just seems more Cigarettes hit the headlines than other brands.

All the step boats will spin. The Geico 51 Outerlimits with #6's did it in Boston. Sunsation had a couple 32's go over. It is the nature of the beast, extra air under the hull in a turn at speed will be an issue in any brand.
