I have hesitated to comment on this thread but.....

In todays litigious times I dont fault the owner for "hiding" behind is attorney. He paid what compensation was agreed upon and thats it. He doesnt know if any of those involved are first class scum lookin to take advantage of his wealth, and you dont know who was even driving at the time. I would say money, in this circumstance and under agreement, makes all parties even.

Sorry it happened, what does it cost to make us square, see ya later.

The first class scum taking advantage of his wealth already happened - whoever was driving the yacht. If it was the owner himself he should be shot. Hiding behind a lawyer is expected, but a puzzy move none-the-less.

Could also be taken two ways.

1.They want to do the right thing and take care of it promptly

2, They want to sweep it under the rug asap before some
badazz lawyers team up with all the people involved and sue the crap out of them.

I've been watching this discussion as I was in the area at the time. It is good to see that the situation has been revolved. I feel sympathy for those affected but I think that its time to let it go. Those invlolved sent reps down as soon as the incident occured. If it had gone to court etc it would be many months most likely years before a settlement was reached. A settlement has already been agreed on so I believe. Thats something that should be appreciated. As for 'taking responsibilty'- as if anyone would publically when forums like this exsist with comments posted earlier wanted to 'lynch' some-body. A

As soon as the incident occured!! Are you kidding me? They shut the transponder off on the yacht when they got on the Delaware Bay. They flipped my freind and I off when we went after them to inform them of what had happened. I have yet to get any formal apology from anyone, other than some sorry azz apology on a form that was sent out to all of us. You were in the area, I was on the dock!

Boatbuddy1 - 1 Poster - Might Be Sea Doo For Dad

BoatBuddy1 is not Sea Doo for Dad. Again I feel sympathy for those affected-it sucks. Im just saying that in Forums like this where fact is often left behind....eg (they didn't switch off thier transponer or get 'buzzed by the coast-guard- check with the coast guard). Im not suprised they havn't made too many comments beyond the settlement or whaterver.
Gald that you guys that have been affected have been compensated- so you should be! good luck.

Discoverd these facts whilst doing research for submitting an article in a cruising magazine.

Compensation is one thing...

People could have been seriously injured or killed. My wife was thrown to the deck twice and was in danger of getting pinned between a couple of boats and the finger pier. The apology that they have offered was lame.

Still following this and just wanted to put it out there that Sea Doo for Dad is still in Nantucket at the Boat Basin.
They will not be going anywhere with the weather they will be experiencing over the next couple of days, that's a fair weather day boat.
