Damn straight.

Agree...I had a girl jump in the water when we were anchored one day in a cove, was oblivious about the outdrive...gashed her knee very badly and required stitches, we were not drinking BTW. I couldn't imagine not knowing about an outdrive, she never went out in boats and couldn't imagine all the machinery down there. From that point forward if there were people on my boat and they were not "boaters" I explained and showed people what was under the surface prior to them going overboard, that situation never happened again.

I've had this happen. I wrongly assumed she knew because she had been on boats. But I guess a big sea ray with v drives and a swim platform might have given her the wrong impression.

And the plot thickens!

Good story. Now they have to prove who was driving.

That story paints a slightly different picture, which makes a bit more sense as to what happened.

On board Urbelis’s 29-foot boat that day were four men in their 30s, including Urbelis, and nine women ages 19 to 22.

Lot of folks for a 29' boat, I wonder if whoever was driving was trying to round up everyone that was in the water.

Terrible tragedy and I am not trying to make light of the situation. But who puts the name of their boat on the side of a cruiser?????

BAck in the 80's it was pretty popular to do so ie: boat name on side.
