Cat crash in Louisiana over the weekend?
 

I have seen some posts of a Mti sideways way up in the woods today. Is it old pics or did one crash this past weekend ? Looks like it took out a bunch of trees on its way.

Heard everyone is ok.

care to share these sources? Thanks.

This recently redone 48/1350 rig went tree-squirrel hunting by the looks of it. I only joke about it because it was reported there were no significant injuries (thank God). It happened on the Tickfaw this weekend.

Anyone heard how this happened?

so what time of the day / night did this happen ?

That covered alot of ground !!

It was during the day and the driver was not drunk. I'm not going to post anything more than that, as it's not my place. I just want everyone to not start speculating it was a drunken night escapade, as I hated it when my accident happened and so many online came to conclusions about what happened that were not true. Again, I'm just so thankful that nobody was hurt and we should all take this as a reminder to drive responsibly as we come into the season this year. This could happen to any of us, especially those of us that drive high speed cats.

:eekdrop: :eekdrop: :eekdrop: WOW!!!!!!!!!

Glad nobody was seriously hurt.

The green paint scheme makes it really look at home in the woods...

The Fountain boys might have to re-up their record (remember the 42 standing upright on its transom in the woods). Glad nobody was hurt, feel bad for all of the cat owners trying to get their insurance renewed next year! Pool of insurers is getting smaller and one claim like this is enough for an insurer to say enough is enough.

Looking at the tow straps on the rear of the boat, are those attached to a strong point in the boat (like how they lift raceboats with the crane) or is that going to just rip off the rear hatches?

Wow that is amazing no one got hurt. Talk about luck.

Absolutely a miracle that everyone survived that.

Looks like a “pick your lumber” plane crash.

Frightening ride.

Look to be right at the transom line, so I suspect those are the hanging rings for his boathouse or similar. Should hold as long as they don't totally punch/jerk it out of there

Paging Upstate Powerboats.

literally was thinking the same thing.

i found Phils next boat

Thank goodness everyone is ok! It could happen to any of us.

Any idea how fast he was going ? That is just incredible.

MDS

About 7 mph slower than a corresponding Skater.

Kind of wonder if he was avoiding someone.

​​​​​Saw this posted on FB, however I don't have any first hand knowledge of the incident.

Remember when OSO was the place to learn about an accident like this, now it's all over Tik Tok, Instamodel, and snatch chat lol!

Sounds like they were realatively experienced boaters, going fast, maybe touching it off with another boat, accidentally trimmed down too far while cornering which hooked, caught, over corrected, which sent them into the woods. Miraculously they are ok, doesn't sound like anyone was ejected, and the boat held up better than most of today's paper mache would!!!

The post above said ejected, what you seen said they didn't?

I would have thought they were ejected before the boat ran up on shore. I think there would be a very different outcome if everyone was in the boat up thru the trees. Just thankful everyone will be OK.

Was that snip from a local news agency, sheriff office, LDWF down there Facebook feed?

^^^^
Photos show million-dollar boat crash on Tickfaw River; 2 people hurt

Sounds like a couple were hurt pretty badly but will survive.

this site is really not doing to well if we are the last to learn about this.........

No doubt - objects in motion, stay in motion....

The boat decelerated to 0 on the tree BURIED into the port sponson at the tunnel...the passengers would have kept travelling under inertia until they too hit something (dash/ seat backs/ whatever)...helluva abrupt stop

Bad circumstances but at the very least, good to hear everyone will recover

If that was truly a 130MPH crash and everyone survived that's a miracle.

Hope everyone pulls through

That’s what happens when you drink the worm buckets.

My guess is the the outcome would have been worse if there were occupants on board for the wildlife portion of the ride. Sure glad everyone will be okay and its just another chance for all of us to learn from. Narrow waterways don't leave room for error....
