Read that this morning...terrible.

Not jumping to judgment but just like with a car, nothing good happens after midnight.

I hope all recover though and live long lives.

Hate to say it but I dont find that as much sad as I find it absolutely infuriating and irresponsible.

GD. I totally agree with you 110 % and still till this day do not understand why boating & sporting events bring forth such stupid irresponsible drunks. Even up here, boaters with pics of their boats having a form of alcohol in their hands is so uncool. I feel sorry for other boaters on the waterways who are 100 % sober when other boaters / drivers are not.

Ask Smarty, It wasn't their Fault...They allegedly were drinking and allegedly crashed the boat...

Too me it is very simple.... Don't drink and drive, BAD things can and will happen... Personally, I feel bad for the boat, total waste of a nice boat.....

I have to chime in. There is a way to responsibly enjoy a few beers while out. Some people don't know how to do that.

What he said^^

Operating at night is sketchy at slow speeds sober. I love night boating but, I never run fast ever at night! I run the slowest cruise speed and enjoy the calm water and stars. Another sad story. Sucks.

I feel sorry for the passengers. That's such a shame about that boat. Such a beautiful looking boat before it crashed.
