Check out crash videos on YouTube.

It’s always about speed.

“Democrats say it was a black assault style boat with multiple passenger capacity. They immediately demanded new laws for boat controls including red flag laws, age restrictions and extensive background checks for boat operators.“

NOBODY needs a boat that size, with that capacity!!

BAN THEM!!!! BAN them ALL!!!!

My wife watches those! Scary!

Speed is something our boat will never be accused of.

Once while going south near Jacksonville in the ICW, we hit 8mph. It was a wild ride!

Once we turned to go into the dock we were heading for, speed dropped to about 3mph. I touched nothing!

I’ll have to guess.

I think they’re uncomfortable—but fashionable—colorful swimsuits that end below the knee. (Like “Bermuda Shorts”, but for teens).

AS of right now:

Local to Savannah news has it that the Captain of the boat that didn’t have the family on it was indeed charged with DUI. Folks that knew the guy posted that they aren’t surprised that it was him. More as it comes in.
