Damn shame, that was a real pretty boat. Glad everyone is ok.

If I even run into the fella who risked his own safety and tore his chit up to prevent injury to a fellow boater dinner is on me (-:

That's what I did too! Same thing happened to me a few years ago I was riding my stand up ski and watched a guy get ejected in a runabout and was circling him to and I jumped in his boat from my ski. So scary! I can't imagine doin that with a powerboat. Glad everyone is ok!

Lanyards save lives folks.

And apparently so does a brave soul willing to tear up his own gear to save your life. I wonder what kind of insurance mess that will cause.

Seen it done once on a bass boat, they run up on the outside of the boat running in a circle and got rail to rail and the second guy in the boat hoped right over in the boat and cut the key off. The guy timed it perfect, made it look simple but it wasn't. He done a great job, sounds like this is the same kind of guy. Stepped up and took charge, very cool!!
