Picture this:

A rich guy goes to Statement and plunks down a-million-whatever for the boat. For him, its the perfect pen*s extention because now he is the big dog on the lake and everybody knows it. Besides having a less than admirable pen*s, he also lacks the talent to operate this kind of boat, but all that matters to him is that he now is king.

On his maden voyage, he packs the boat will his friends, all of which are top earners. They leave the dock and 20-minutes later the guy blows the boat over at 180. Everyone on board is killed.

The families of the passangers file a wrongfull death suit against everyone involved including Statement. In court, a mouthpiece with a nice suit says to Statement, "its your fault because you produced and sold this boat to a guy you should have known couldn't handle it".

After a long and drawn-out trial, the jusy agrees that if but for Statement building and selling this boat to this guy, none of this would never have happened and they (the families) win a judgement against Statement for a "portion" of the lost income that the families of the victims now live without. Considering that all of these guys made north of $1M per year, and they were all in their mid-40s. Equates to tens of millions of dollars.

I'm sure that Statement has excellent liability insurance, but to me, it just seems like a can of worms.

ANYWAY, ITS ALL A MOOT POINT SINCE THE CONSENSUS IS THAT THE BOAT WILL NOT RUN NEAR THAT SPEED AND THE ORIGINAL POST WAS BS.

Just got the report that 207 is the number, must be the turbine 50 not the 1350 boat, if its the 1350 that would be the fastest so far. Showed pic of stray cat , did it have turbine before pistons

Amazing it toke 55 posts before your source was revealed. Problem is why didn't they make that announcement to help their business? Down side to all of this is, if none of this is true, some people may have the wrong idea about Statement and Fastboats. Neither one of them asked for this type of negativity, about lawsuits, people getting killed etc., nor do they deserve it. If one of their boats ran 207, congratulations.
