Well someone named Mike Hubal says they have a video of the spin? It would be interesting to see what happened and how folks survived a 190mph spin (and the boat is fine), but more so......what caused it.

LOL - if I spun my million-plus dollar boat and the boat and crew came away without a scratch, you could hook jumper cables to my balls, but my insurance company would never find out! :pray:

Glad everyone is fine, assuming it even happened!:party-smiley-004:

Oh yea it happened as reported, spoke to a guy who is best buds with Bill T,son (Ron T) they were touching close to 200 and a pleasure boat pulled in front, they were cutting wide to go around & hooked- the 3 times around is also correct- if u can picture the old movie top gun when they got into a flat spin-apparently same sort of deal and then she semi stuffed.

And yep no injuries and my way is getting the once over but appears ok


As far as pullin those kinda speeds on that water - I dunno- all I no is I'm saving my sheckles for a mystic. Granted I will be 253yrs old......

Interesting......and lucky as all $hit.

Hey, how many sheckles a year are you saving, and at what interest rate.

If you are boating at 190+ in an area where "a pleasure boat" or "jet ski" (what ever the story is) can just "pull out in front" of you, then YOU ARE OVER DRIVING THE CONDITIONS! Regardless of speed limits, etc... Unless it was a closed course, which it doesn't sound like it was then the driver of "My Way" was driving in a dangerous manner. I realize this is in contridiction to my previous statments in regards to Desert Storm........ I realize boats and jet skis don't always pay attention before "pulling in front" of another boat.... But at thoses speeds you can look over your shoulder and not see a boat traveling at 190+ coming. Next think you know there he is.....

Given all of this, has anyone confirmed they were traveling at those speeds? It seems very irresponsible... I would assume the owner of a boat like that would have a better sense of judgement so as of know I will give benifit of the doubt to the driver of "My Way" until ALL facts are out.......

Please do not blast me for giving my opinion... It is just that MY opinion..... It may not count for much,..
