What kind of boat is that? Man, I hope he's OK.

Sorry to hear that and I hope he makes a full recovery. Keep us posted on his progress, please.

Reports are that he has a broken leg but okay otherwise. Not sure what kind of boat it was.

Boat looks like a 22' Velocity. You can see the V in the paint job on the transom. Had one of these.

Glad it wasn't worse. Could have been doing something really dangerous like jumping a boat wake too close to the boat. :grinser010:
