While details of the incident are unclear at this time, multiple sources have confirmed that it involved a 36-foot Skater catamaran owned and operated by seasoned performance boat enthusiast and former offshore racer Matt Rice (Matt Trulio's article quote)......

Crazy part to me is the guy has a ton of fast boat experience and it is a good boat........hard to understand how that combo got in trouble!

Glad over all that everyone was ok.

By the way, the kid giving the interview was very well spoken and articulate. You could just tell he's a good kid. Props to his parents.
