Drunk driving. That figures. The 42 also no doubt because the driver disappeared to take someone to a hospital.

I just noticed if you click on the picture in the article there are two more pictures of the boat (I missed those when I posted it), for being intoxicated he threaded the needle pretty good through that dock, especially while fighting to recover from that rogue cruiser wake ....

Would be interesting to know how many on here talking crap are 100% sober every time they operate their boat, let alone in LOTO on shootout weekend.

Well that's hard to say but maybe you could do a survey post or possibly the board has survey function built in?

I limit myself to no more than one beer per hour and usually less. So maybe not 100% but well under .08. You really think everyone here drives their boat drunk?

Everyone,...no. but I see it happen at raft ups and bars all the time and especially at a weekend event like this. What I'm saying is that so many people that are quick to judge, do the same thing.

This accident was Saturday, but Thursday there were 391 BUIs at Loto. Most were around the state park.

Well now there is a video of this on FB.

The cruise wake didnt come out of no where but he did hit a good launch off it before losing control and hard turning to the right into where the boat ended up.
