My thoughts and prayer to the family, God Speed.

Celebrate their lives boys. Did not know them but from what I can tell they lived it right. All the best to their families.

Was Jim from the lake Hartwell SC . Area. ?

Police have identified the boaters as James A. Melley, 49, of Buford, Georgia, and Garth Thomas Tagge, 61, of Atlanta. Melley was driving the boat, and Tagge was the throttleman, police said.

Condolences to Garth Tagge's and Jim Melley's families and all their friends. RIP

Thought the video was supposed to be taken down due to respect for the families? However, Offshore Lake of the Ozarks has it posted.....very hard to watch. RIP :( :( :(

Accident was just on GMA a minute ago. About 20 or so second segment.

Two distinguished and respected gentlemen taken way too soon from their families and close friends.

All performance boat enthusiasts are feeling a loss today. RIP

Such a tragedy. 24 years ago our father was killed in a hydroplane accident. One of his competitors gave us a card with a note inside that read " only because we dare to be different and reach out and extend ourselves to the limit, we separate ourselves from the norm"

The best quote ever for all of us!

RIP and Gods speed!
