Ya, It SUCKS - But that could have happened to any boat cooking through there at 70 to even 100mph - PHYSICS people!!!

Who knows how fast he was really going - do any of you people really even know? Was he doing 100? Was he doing 120? or was he doing 150? Really doesnt matter does it!

What matters is NO-ONE got hurt and everyone went home at the end of the day,

Why dont all you clowns/naysayers that are pretty much bashing My Way and Tomlinson put yourself in his shoes - How do you think he feels?

Powersports are dangerous, Maybe you naysayers should start following golf and croquet its much safer then Powerboats and you dont have to worry about what if's!


axapowell - EXCELLENT POST!

Joined a month ago, and this is your 3rd post?

Hardly qualifies you to tell people who have been involved in this for years that they should follow a different sport.

I dont hear ANYONE bashing Mr T. Just speculating on what "could" have happened, or, what MIGHT happen in the future. Enjoy the Croquet and Golf

Right!
Crusier captians don't know the damage they cause, or they do and they don't care.

I guess thats the worst part of an "open" course, the other boat traffic is allowed out there too, I agree with an earlier post, I dont think the Sea Ray captain knew what was coming at him.

Looking at it differently, if the wave HAD been from a ship as originally speculated, would you be pissed at the ship captain?

LEAST of Mr T's worries, You dont run a setup like his without some DEEP pockets, I am sure he is glad everyone is ok, fixing the boat is just writing a cheque, but, I agree, for the "rest" of us it would be a HUGE chunk of cash!
