For anyone that may have heard, please do not post anything about the accident that happened today with the new owner
of my formerly-owned Skater 30 Prototype. I will post what happened with this tragic event when my head is clear tomorrow. I had befriended the new owner and his girlfriend, and they were staying with us this weekend for the poker run event today. Tonight we are grieving the loss of Nancy, and Stephan is in the hospital, but in stable condition. Please, please, please be considerate everyone, I do not want misinformation spread and I will let everyone know the best of what I know after I am finished dealing with what I have to deal with tomorrow. It was a single boat accident that nobody witnessed, with only Stephan and Nancy on board. This is the toughest day I have ever had boating, when I don't come home with all of my friends that I left with in the morning............

Praying for you and the family....

Just the kind of things that the OP very politely asked us not to post. Please be more respectful.

I think that guy is a little socially awkward, certainly insensitive. His history of snarky remarks shows he likes to stir the pot.

Very tragic to hear Skater30 - I sometimes get that eerie feeling something like this will happen to me or my passengers, it always slows me down. Let's hope the surviving recovers, absolutely horrible to hear about your friends. Very sorry. Like op said, no one has any right to assume what happened, show some respect for the injured / deceased.

dude, seriously? Tone def much?



Like I said last night Dale. Very sorry for your loss.
this hits literally close to home for me as Stephan lives around the corner from us and is very good friends with our life long friends. Like I said last night, if there’s anything we can do or if Stephan needs anything from here, please let us know.

What an a$$hole! RIP to the deceased and hope the driver makes a full recovery. That was a really special boat.

It took far less time for the $hitty post to appear than I thought it would...sad to see comments like that BUT then again...open forums seem to bring out the worst in some people. We've all seen far too many times when someone bared his soul, or a tragic event took place, or some other incident was posted of a very personal nature, only to have someone take a pot shot at them.
It's one of the reasons I tend to like animals better than people sometimes.

Thoughts and prayers to the o.p., and everyone involved in the tragedy.

still a dousche…some things never change.

Have I told you to f*ck off recently…?

So sorry to hear about this. Condolences...... and wishing speedy recovery.....

the prick that posted Mr Boatless what is wrong with you...

Very Sorry to read this Dale. Prayers are sent for Stephen and all that this loss affects as it will change them forever and this is yet another reminder of whats important and how delicate we all are.
