Thread: HTM Crash

    How deep is Castaic.240 feet is very deep.It is about that deep at Lake Berryessa at the dam in Northern California.I scuba dive and having to take 70 minutes to come up must be boring.The divers must be using Nitrox.What force it must of taken to rip a motor out of the boat.It had 1000 HP and it stayed in the boat.Is there any wonder there was no survivors left.RIP

    Know what,no one really knows right now just a bunch of speculation,anything could have happend.
    But I tell you this, if I had to get in an HTM and do 150 MPH or even 125+ I would put my life in steves hands.

    I agree! Steve of all people knew that lake and it's distance limits.

    It occured to me that if the GPS they were using is recovered and could be made to work again, their max. speed may finally come to light and (if it has a "tracks" feature like my Garmin eTrex) their entire course on the lake might have been plotted. It's as close as it comes to having a "Black Box" as found on airliners.
    At any rate, I agree that only time will tell.

    [I am a proud owner of an SR24 and am also horrified by what has happened. My family was fortunate to have met such a strong willed man as steve and he will never be forgotten. Last summer my son Tommy was the regatta prince and we had a blast.Just before the regatta steve had a similar incident that he told me about were he worned me to always check my belts and to always wear the safety cutoff switch. He had very bad bruising to his right side becouse the power steering belt broke and he lost steering which he said threw him into a immediate left turn slamming him into the right side of his boat at the throttle and steering wheel.Gentlemen we have unanswered questions here but from my experiences with steve his risk factor was always with safety in mind and he would not sacrifice his love for family for a few more mph. Our boating family will miss him

    The area by the Dam is the deepest part of the lake. It's way way deeper than 300'. I would think they were not close to the dam.
