This guy was out at the lake where I go. I talked to him right after this hapened, as you could imagine he was pretty pissed, but mostly in shock it hapened though. He may need that blueprinting advice :eek!:

Whats the story behind this one? Tried to turn but forgot the throttle? Looks like hes going to need a new nozzle too.

He said the steering or throttle was stuck. I was told later that he was drinking pretty heavily. If this guys boat is rigged like mine he is still stuck in forward looking at the fore/ aft control lever. The rangers said what really got them, is that there was a water safety manual in the passengers seat, when they went to look at it later.
What kind of boat and year is this anyways?
-
we i guess its a good thing no was killed, no OUI(dui)
if he was drinking....what state ?
lots of rocks , looks like AZ
good luck

What ever the damage is...it's still not as bad as if there was a prop from a v-drive/outdrive on it:cool:
-
looks like he Hit the Dam (DAMN) :mad:
one very important thing with Jet Boats is to NOT let off the throttle when it looks like your gonna hit something. it take's practice, in a car if you were gonna hit something the first thing you would do is SLOW down (or try too anyway) looks like no one was hurt :) the Neat thing about Jet Boats is you can slide them up on the shore & do alot less damage than with other style of Boats :cool:

No one was hurt, just a checkbook....The lake is out in Ennis Texas 1 hr south of Dallas, yep got it right it is on the dam. The picture was taken by a Ranger out there.
What kind of boat is this anyways...anyone know?

Most sidewinders were right hand drive.
