Fox is reporting that the boat was full of senior citizens on a one hour cruise.

Must have been a huge wake, that is not a small boat at all.

Caught in wake of another boat.

They are cracking down on speeding watercraft on New Hampshire lakes...interested to see the details of this accident; especially regarding the "other boat".

I'm monitoring Warren County sheriff dept and local emergency traffic including helo flights on my scanners and comm equipment... The number of fatalities is going to be more than 15 I'm afraid.

Also, some speculation that the boat may have capsized due to many passengers moving towards one side of the craft as it was laking its initial turn out of port.

Here's a link to a local news thread: Tour Boat Disaster

I read in the NY Post that the other boat is a paddle boat. I can't see it creating that much wake. I have cruised alongside many of them in my 17 footer.
