Is Ivan stewart flying a truck six feet thru the air on the interstate?

What's the speed limit in the Kroger parking lot?

How many people obey the speed limit on the interstate?

What's the speed limit where My Way was running when they hit the wake?

I am not defending the event. I will continue to boat there whether the poker run stays or goes.

Anybody ask Aqua-mania how fast they ran yesterday? Or how about the rest of the field? Gimme a break.

Set speed limits and hold drivers responsible, see how many show up to your run!

I hear you Lighthouse! Not my video. Sent to me by a neighbor. Wanted to get it out as soon as possiable to show what really happened. Tired of hearing of Tsunami size waves and turbine explosions

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

The only thing missing was about four tubes loaded with kids being towed and some lake lice jumping that HUGE wake !

Aqua Mania Alexandria Bay

He really backs off when he gets close to that ship, well, if you can call 100mph+ "backing off" lol

Couple observations. This boat looks to be all Carbon Fibre which would coincide with this type of damage, Geico delamination and JBS delamination. Carbon Fibre does not have very good impact resistance unlike Kevlar. Carbon is known for stiffness and light weight. A 50ft boat that would come apart from a crusier wake. Another observation, it would appear these turbine boats are built without a scatter shield to save weight. A scatter shield would or hold prevent the boat from being the scatter shield.

If the boat came apart and impacted the turbine, that would have destroyed the turbine, Would be curious to figure out what happen.
