Stuart Hayim reached out to me this afternoon and I have added the following text to the story:
“I accept full responsibility for what happened,” said Hayim. “You live by the sword, you die by the sword and we were living by the sword. I am guilty—I was the captain of the ship. I would have received all the glory if it worked, but I have to take the shame and responsibility that it didn’t. Our goal was the same as it’s always been with my racing, to give hope and inspiration to those who are sick. I pledged a certain amount of money to charities and said I would double that if I broke the record. I may double it anyway.
“Randy Scism of MTI—bless his heart,” he added. “It’s a miracle that the boat didn’t sink and we made it in.”
Hayim said he plans to attempt to break his record again in 2016.

I have no doubt Stuart has the means to hire a law and PR firm that could have massaged him right out of this. Instead, he chose integrity. We soooo could use more of this in our small ego-driven, A-type personality crowd (and yes... I do realize I live in a glass house - LOL).

While many in this forum and ever shrinking go-fast community may be defending the event, decisions and/or actions; the majority of the boating community has already formed their opinions, regardless or irregardless of what we all may believe deep down inside. For me this is really the problem at hand, giving the masses more fodder to look down their nose at these kind of boats.
Be safe and make smart decisions.

Tw I'm done trying to explain how this incident went down. I will not even respond to your links that say " rich idiot tries to beat record" because stu has gave millions and raised millions for cancer research. He did this for others and a unfortunate FOG bank and Bouy took him out in a rapid incident. Stu running at 155 mph is like others running at 80. He is not just some new rich guy in a fast boat. I going to have to bow out of this thread because it's starting to piss me off so bad. Opinions are like as sholes everyone has one, or is one? How does that go? I forget
