Not to harp, not to sound like an ahole, but looking at the bigger picture this gives anyone ammo to argue shutting events down.
It's one thing to read a condolence thread, but another thing of being able to google poker run accident and find the history and debates. Is it just me or wouldn't it be better to have this discussion and other past discussions moved to a more "private" area like the Bilge?
Just a thought?

Wow. I hadn't seen the accident from that view. I do not understand why others have stated that no spectator boats played a role. Viewed it on my iPhone and at
Least on the small screen it looks like that cruiser nearly got T- boned and may have caused the accident. Again, others claim to have seen aerial photographs and say no spectator boats were to blame. That video seems to suggest otherwise.

1. Early 1075s were finicky
2. 100k/10 runs = 10k each, not really crazy money if you are shipping the boat nationwide
3. They were his numbers, I will leave it up to him to chime in

Consider this, your driving along at 80 on the highway nice day windows down. All of a sudden a crotch rocket comes by at 140. Feels like your standing still and usually never even notice until he's up on you. Easily could change lanes and take a life. I have on numerous occasions checked made sure lanes were clear and started a turn or merge only to be surprised by a bike or car traveling at an extremely high rate of speed.

Classic 42X rubbing glass with a cat! 2 very famous offshore guys behind the wheel of each boat. I was on that poker run but never saw the video!
