WOW! Thanks for posting that Pat. That has to be the most comprehensive report on a boating crash I've ever read. What an awesome read. Super vivid, step by step reporting. I actually emailed the author and commended her on the article. Superb.
Tragic deal. The boat looks very familiar.

Looks like a lot of time was put into this for a very comprehensive investigation. Similar to the way an airplane crash is evaluated. Good information to rule out stories of what may have happened and give some educated data on the incident. A report like this has value to those interested, showing alcohol levels and speeds involved, dreaded cruiser wakes and lake chop, with an unfortunate outcome. Hope like hell the powerboat community has a less tragic year in 2017. Thanks for posting this.

I know nothing of driving a big cat or the conditions that surrounded this accident, but I"ll admit that I'm surprised to learn that the Garmin only showed them doing between 110 - 119 when the accident occurred. I figured much faster. That must have been one hell of a big wake that cruiser put out. Even more respect for rough water going forward here.
