Aren't there two people in the boat, a driver AND throttleman?

Does anyone really believe the damage was caused by a rogue wake? Look closely at the damage

He is easily one of the best drivers I've witnessed from on the St. Lawerence.

If what was said above about a turbine exploding how do you stop that? I've seen pistons fly out of a block out the side of a boat and land on the dock, I've also seen pistons punch holes in the bottom of boats and nearly sink them.

I've had Bill T pass me twice at well north of 120mph, while I was running mid 70's. I checked my shoulder going around an island, checked it again and he was on me. He took his space and even lifted to make sure there would be no problems as he went by.

If a turbine did indeed explode at that speed, what are you to do other then to attempt to make sure no one is hurt which this crew managed?

Glad nobody was hurt. Phragle is right, racecourse is where that boat belongs.

I just spoke to a good friend who was there for this and he said excessive speed was not the issue so I recant some of my comments as you know there is always more then one side to a story. Glad everyone is ok and the boat can be fixed. I just don't want to see anyone get hurt that's all.

Then so does pretty much the rest of them, except for that 26'checkmate which was part of this run.......next year they should make it a paddle boat poker run

A wave my ass ..... Looks pretty clear to be the 2nd turbine that wrecked a Mystic in the last month. Maybe Turbine Marine motors only like MTI's and is rebelling !!
