Johnny told me the boat was new and they didn't have life lines on the boat...They had regular jackets that wouldn't have done anything at that speed anyway. He also said the boat felt like a Cadi in that water. Yes, bad things can happen anytime and anywhere but I like the fact we (as Americans) still have the ability to chose when we wish to wear a life jacket. It's one of the last freedoms we have it seems. But by the comments of some on the forums we should just all ban together and push a bill through to mandate life jacket wearing...Then no one would argue any more.

As far as JT looking like "an idiot driving fast without a jacket"...I'll trust his jusdgement that is based on his extensive history in this industry over monday morning quarterbacks opinions.

Who is Yves? What is his back ground other than enjoying the good life?

I remember when Yves Belanger owned it and his other half(don't remember the blonde's name) rented a chopper to film Yves and Rick Conti runnin out Haulover cut in big water gettin' big air, don't know what happened to that boat after that. This was '90 or '91?
