Glad everyone is OK!! That sucks about the boat it looks like it was real nice. I bet you did hit a drive on the bottom, water level is down. I grounded my drive out that way my first time out this year. I was only doing about 25mph and since it was sand just I took some paint off my skeg.

The lake is down about 18"-24" I think..... It is way Low. I narffed up my blades on NAS-T going to get a friend and or at browns, It is very shallow and going to get worse. I am glad that everyone is okay! You can always fix a boat. Everyone just needs to be safe and have fun! I also see mercury, Hering, B Blades, Hydromotive etc having a good year this year!

Ditto............


Glad everyone is OK.

i am going to say this, i remember not too long ago an extremely experienced driver (just so happens WORLD CHAMPION) rolled a 32 Innovator on the Chain in IL. i remember all of the Sunsation guys running to the thread calling him everything but a white man, discrediting his driving skills, questioning his intelligence... basically without knowing any details wrote him off as an idiot rookie driver that didnt know what he was doing.
why would this thread be any different?
Interceptor - I have to agree with you, Im not sure what the point is either and when i first heard about this and that it was Cory that was the FIRST thing that came to my mind, having witnessed him do it first hand. (whether or not it happened that way people are still going to think that initially, no need to get mad about it)

A boat on plane at 50 mph will not draft 4 ft of water, the boat doesnt even draft that at idle... so it seems we are missing a piece of the puzzle. i do realize we have "first hand commentary" here, BUT lets be real with ourselves, you're going to pad the story a little to make your buddy look better.

The only thing that matters is that everyone is ok and will go on to see another day... plain and simple. But you can not expect to have your boat floating upside down in the lake and not get some razzing for it especially here on OSO. Has everyone forgotten about the 29 Outerlimits already? look at all of the boat crash experts on that thread! relax people, its JUST THE INTERNET!

Myself nor anyone else on the lake has anything to bennifit by me "pading the story a little to make your buddy look better". I've spoke the facts as I experianced them so that someone else doesn't end up in a similar situation.
It's becoming clear that out of the 64 post to this thread, yourself and The 288 Kid have some sort of ill opinion towards the owner of this boat being that the two of you are the only ones judging his character, and it just so happens you are buddies...
Everyone have a good summer and be safe.
This is my last comment to this thread.

Clay sandy bottom.

Great, all 6 of my passengers had a great time at the Leopa run this weekend. They all told me I was the man and my boat rides like an f4.

MoBurba- i said nothing bad about the boat or its owner... i stated why people would assume things due to prior instances... and re-stated what another member already said with a boat on plane drafting less than 3-4'. i have speculated nothing. i just found it ironic when one boat is rolled everyone jumps on and bashes the hell out of the guy and here its different... same hull damn near. Was just interesting to me. Lastly, i have not judged his character based on the fact that his boat is upside down at the moot, i already knew how arogant he was long before that . see ya smart guy.

Showing off does not equal safe driving.

Did sheriff witness the incident? Yes

Was driver ticketed for incident? Yes, reckless driving?

Nothing more to say!

MoBurba nice to see that you joined Offshore Only today also.

Glad everyone was unharmed, very lucky!
