Rules and guidelines don’t apply to some people. As far as ‘eye watering’ $4 million? In that area the lambo might be a skiff to some.

I’d like to see this thing doing seventy miles an hour with people standing on the deck.

Looks like it sunk only a couple hundred yards from shore.

Saw a brand new speed boat sink at anchor in the Santa Rosa Sound during our Pirate Festival a few years back.

Overloaded with people and it just went in like a second. PLOP!....

Sea Tow had to pull it out of the water with a power winch that snatched it up in a few seconds.................

The boat was carrying twice its capacity when it started sinking.

"limited-edition" time

Captain must be an idiot, overloads the boat and probably forgot to put in the bilge plug.

This story makes no sense. Any boat 26ft or over gets a yacht certificate. This is not the plate on smaller boats that tells HP and number of persons/weight. A yacht does not have a number of persons designation. They also are often exempt from state rules about driver needing a lanyard and children needing a life jacket while underway. Looked at web sight and could not find the number of persons. Even if it is mentioned, the number of persons on a yacht usually refers to sleeping capacity. The boat most likely sank because a below water line hose/fitting broke.

Two observations.

The women on board look like they weighed a lot less than the average passenger.

A boat that large should be able to carry more than 32 people. Could the 16 limit be due to a limited number of lifeboats/life jackets on board?

Looks like the floater had to much hair onboard.
Just blowing in the wind.... At least they weren't
overloaded with clothing.

I think the marine maintenance guy forgot to replace the rear drain plug after he worked on the boat. Happens all the time......
