Still, good they were ok and the PFD's were WORN (not just in the boat) and the kill switch was connected. Could have been far worse.

X2 Also running way too fast for the width of the channel.

We've all probably done Cruising along and looks like he drops off it on the right side and at 60mph + this is what happens........ Glad the where both alright.. Here's one.... https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&r...nlW65ANRYu_CHZw

He was running a 45 foot offshore and did the same thing. He was in the hospital for just under a year. He was run over by the props and he got cut up severly. Got to be careful out there

I guess you arm chair experts didn't read the description of the video?

Having owned some very fast boats over the years including one that did over 90 MPH and driven a 1,400 HP boat many times, I guess I have no clue what I'm talking about.
