From reading the various stories out there, sounds like this guy was going too fast for the conditions. Add in that fact he was drinking and he lost control of his boat and killed two innocent people. And of course the reaction against the "cigarette boats" is in full effect...

Here is the boat that was hit - tore the upper deck right off the cruiser.

Updated story shows the Baja - it has twins, so it is at least a 29' (believe that is the smallest Baja with twins) not 25'.

Prayers for the victims and their families. What a tragic waste.

Another pic, this one shows the Baja. You can clearly see it has twins, so it has to be a 29 or better.

Sad, truly sad. It's amazing how a small number of idiots can mess up an image for all of us. I have no sympathy for somebody who drinks and runs any boat fast.

It is clearly a 29 Outlaw......the only model with those side vents and a rounded windscreen.
