The picture above is the first one that flipped that then Shaun Torrente bought I’m sure at a hell of a price and later sold to Bill Forenski.

Glad everyone is ok minus a collar bone.

Hope it wasn't the blue/teal Breitling inspired boat..........that was the Miami show "best in show!"

I would assume it was just a regular crane operator and help when it was pulled form the water. Rolling a boat over without causing way more damage take experience and a solid plan.

They found the one at LOTO floating in the late-night dark with no people nearby. We were flying to the lake early the next AM and landed in charlotte on layover to 100 messages of people worried it was us. Phone going straight to VM and a few hours of no response had some anxiety going in our friend circle.

The 390 had only sold a few weeks before to that owner.

That was September 2020

Hard to tell the extent of the damage from that picture...but that had to be a sickening sight to see!
