From the other thread...
and I can tell ya from 1st hand up close and personal that when we slowed down cuzz of everyone else slowing down when razor flipped, that the skater behind us didnt slow fast enough and launched over our port side, taking the scoop, carburator covers, carbs with him.. theres also a big gash in in the top rail where his skag dragged across us... and his prop ripped up the port back seat and all along the rail there are gashes where the prop ran across us..... I looked around when we slowed down and I saw him about 35 yards behind us... I was waiting for him to turn away for a couple seconds , then decided oh shit hes gonna hit us right in the back he was going way to fast to turn.... I leaned back towards the starboard side but hit the console in the middle and just leaned back as far as I could.... I watched him come over us from no more than 2 ft..... a real close up of his paint job..... 2 more ft to the right and my kids would have been getting thier inheritance now....... good thing is no one got hurt in our crash, the boats can be fixed, but the jaq is done for the year thats for sure... its a mess. the skater almost rolled when it landed in the water on its side but fell back right side up as opposed to gooing over........ just another day on the water.. I heard that when razor lost a drive the boat turned right and hit the dcb, then filpped ejecting everyone, but thats not a positive on that..
however thats when everyone slowed down in front of us causing the chain reaction........... there were 2 people in the water( i think from razors boat, not sure) on our right and I think the skater chose to hit us instead of running over the people...probably a good choice as he would have ran right over them ...

Here is the damaged DCB in the news clip. Looks like Dave was driving it or a least in the boat. It's an F-32 and the other boat in the photo was UnionJack's old F-29. Thanks to Mrs. O.C for the photo. Go to the West Forum and see the great pics.

Shaken, thanks for posting all those pictures, that did take a while... Good seeing/meeting many of you out there this past weekend it was a good time for me until the carnage went down :(
In the interest of curbing some of the rumours this much I can say right now...
-based on first hand accounts, viewing the boats and the pictures I have seen, I am amazed no one died during this incident....blowncarerra, thank god you are ok as well.. I heard specifically about the boat you were in and I'm truly amazed and thankful you escaped.
-Dave was not Driving the DCB, he hopped in the drivers seat after the accident to assist finding the ejected passenger and to save the boat from sinking. As you can imagine the owner/driver of the boat was both frazzled and in pain, so Dave took over the helm after the crash
-The actual driver/owner of the 32 DCB was not at fault there is video of the incident...The chain of event's are pretty clear
-Union jack was the hero who pulled the ejected man to safety as heavy traffic continued through the carnage... Well done Taylor!
- The lady who was hospitalized should be fine.
-The gentleman that was ejected was in the back of the DCB was seriously injured and remains hospitalized with both a broken back he has control of all extremeties which is the good news but please pray for him just the same.
-This weekend was fun for me until all this went down :( ... Ironically enough my wife recently lost her father and asked me the night before the run If I would not do the run the next morning...I can still hear her words ringing in my head "I couldn't deal with losing you too right now" .... It's kind of eery for me right now thinking about how I may have been in that mix :( ... there may be something to this womens intuition thing afterall ... I hope somehow there is something positive that can come of this... some new saftey regulations, some egos get left on the dock... whatever it is try to be safer out there people, boating is only fun if your alive.

Good to hear everyone will survive...
From looking at the pics, it seems like the course is about as wide as the Parker Strip....again, just basing this off the pics......that just seems like a recipe for disaster for the amount of boats and speed. I thought Havasu was tight in spots....why don't they do these runs in larger lakes or offshore like the folks on the East do...

Wow. Glad to hear everyone is OK for the most part.
I am not sure I understand the need to speed if it is not a race????????? I sure hope this does not mean the end to the Poker runs. On the news they called the run a race. We all know that is going to set the insurance co. off.
I saw over a dozen awesome looking boats today coming back on the 5 and 58. Beautiful boats out there.

Heard about accident right after it happened. Glad everyone is ok. The video footage should tell alot about what caused the whole fiasco. The guys in that Jaguar narrowly escaped with there lives. The 30 foot skater was one of my favorite boats that I've ever seen. Glad everyone escaped with there lives. I was supposed to go to this run and lord knows I could have possibly ended up in the same situation. I talked with Charley before he left and told him how fun this run is and to be careful of those 6 foot cruiser wakes. Crazy photos!

It was crazy to watch, just like slow motion. I did what anyone of us would have done. My spotter point out the person in the water, and we spun a quick U-Turn, and my spotter jumped on the deck to wave off the approaching boats, and without thinking I just jumped in the water and pulled the guy over to my boat. One we made sure the guy was OK we got him loaded and we were off to the launch ramp. Like Charley said he was airlifted away, all the EMS crew were very good at their jobs.
I just wanted to say a big thanks to the PowerBoat Helo, for stopping group two on there way to us, by basically parking the helo on the water. I was in the water when Jag got run over by the Skater and they were only 30 feet from our boat, now that was crazy

Which one of the Skaters ran over the Jag? From what I understand there was two people in the water on the other side of the Jag and the guy driving the Skater really had know where to go. I also understand the guy driving the Skater sould not have even been on plane at that point as most everyone was already stopped when this happened. Any truth to this?

Given that we, Hulshot and crew, were one of the first boats upon the scene of the flipped boat, I believe it is a skater with the number 30 driven by Dale, I began taking pictures. These are the only photos thus far that have been posted. We assisted as the blue, yellow, green Speed and Marine (??) boat hooked up and towed the flipped boat back to shore with the driver and passenger riding on the pontoons. Most if not all the headsets that were floating in the water were picked up by nearby boats.
Within minutes of arriving on the scene, we heard a huge crash, Pierre (O.C.) happened to be see the yellow/orange boat climbed over the "panther" boat in a vertical position. This took place about 30 feet from the flipped boat toward the levee. I immediatley took pictures but did not see the yellow/orange boat. The first photo I took was of the panther boat in motion at a very slow speed with all the passengers pointing towards the direction of the yellow/orange boat. A nearby boat was also pointing. We were all in disbelief of what was happening. As I was taking photos, I noticed 2 people in the water towards the rear of the panther boat swimming towards the levee. I took many photos of the damage done to the panther boat. Luckily no one was hurt.
Many passengers in surrounding boats began waiving their arms to get the attention of the many boats coming upon the scene.
I am confused about what really happended. Why did the no. 30 boat flip? Who was driving the yellow/orange boat that ran over the panther boat and was anyone hurt in this boat? Who were the 2 people in the water, which boat did they come from and how did they get there? It sounds like a DCB boat was involved in an accident that we did not see. Was this on the starboard side of the panther? Who was in that boat and what occurred. The lady and man that went to the hospital, which boat were they in? Who has the broken back and neck? There are so many questions and very few answers.
Most importantly there were no fatalities. I pray for those that were injured and hope they will be ok. Anyone who can shed some light on the numerous accidents and rumors would be wonderful.
Additionally, the news report indicated that there were mishapds at Discovery Bay as well as the end of the run. What happneded to Dr. Evils boat and when did this happen?
Off to work. Have a Happy Monday... :)

I dont know alot more than you but from wat I understand the prop rash on Dr. Evil is from Dales boat as it was flipping over. Dont know if this is true or not just what I heard from my Sisters Babys Fathers Cousins Mother and so on, but you know how that goes. Someone had to have seen it happen, and I am sure that it will all come out in time. I think right now it is just alot of people with what they saw going around with all of the other crashes and of course Dougs boat being run over is a big one.

So, were there two accidents/collisions? I only ask I'm not sure of what happened sicne UJ was already in the water when the Skater ran over the other boat and clipped the carbs off.....is that right? Either way, props to UJ for getting to the person in teh water and getting him to the EMS.

After hearing the story a number of times, these are my impressions only...upper pack...30 skater loses arneson drive slides many lanes over and careened into 36 Nortech, skater flips, massive wall of white water, 2 people in water at this point, following behind a 32 DCB hits the 30 skater I believe when it is upside down already, launches off the skater in the air ejecting a 3rd person into the water... that person is the most serious injured (broken back, but use of all extremeties, hopefully no nerve damage) more slowing traffic hits and launches off another boat I believe a 40' skater off a Jaguar, big boats only slow down so fast...no where to go I suppose?? my impression is the occupents of the Jaguar bailed out??

Occupents of the Jag did not have time to bail out, they hit the floor in the rear seats and got as low as they could in the front seats, the Skater went right over the top of the people in back and missed (Ken - Blowncarrera) the passenger in the front seat by about two feet. Scary Shit for sure

Yes we in the jag never left the boat as there was no time to do much of anything. a skater on our right glanced off the side of a spectre and the back passengers of the spectre bailed when they saw they were going to get hit and swam to shore as im told.... I looked around and another skater was coming at us.... the entire incident is on video and I have talked to someone who has seen it and charleys version is very accurate as i'm told... major props to UJ for getting in the water....there are still a few questions that need some answers but this is probably not the right place and the powers to be have the questions..... so the answers should be interesting.........

Thankfully, this wasn't much worse as it could have been.

Big props to everyone who may have put there lifeÂ’s in danger to help others in need. When my dad called me Saturday and informed me of what had happened it really was scary. It is a miracle no one was killed. I guess it was kind of a blessing in disguise that my dadÂ’s tranny broke on the way to Pittsburg. Otherwise he may have been in the middle of this as well.
Charlie when I heard there was an orange DCB involved I was hoping it was not true but was hoping even more it was not your new boat.
Hopefully this will help the poker runs go in a good direction and not make them a thing in the past.

Blowncarrera - This isnt it. I was in this boat - 20yards off your starboard side when that Skater launched off your stern. I had just sat my video camera down!!! I am glad all you guys are ok. Really, it couldve been reaaaalllll bad, as you know.

I dont even want to put any spin on this whole thing. Ive heard a few different stories. But, in the end, one seems to have been told more than once. So, I'll lay it out in hopes of someone, knowing of a more accurate description, make any corrections to what I have heard.
Here is how it was told to me, a couple of boats passed up the pace boat which wasnt supposed to happen until after it passed the bridge - which was layed out in the drivers meeting minutes before. These couple of boats went on to close out the rest of the boats. This, supposedly is where Razor's Skater collided w Dr. Evil. Hence, prop divits all along the port side of his Nortech. Result, Skater steering broke, sponson hooked, flipped, got pickle forked by DCB (which totally saw accident and tried to avoid). One question, I wonder why Dr. Evil didnt stop? Im reallllly hoping, and waiting to get the whole story cleared up. Because, this is all supposed to be fun. So, Im hopin' alot of these rumor's regarding a few "ego's" didn't fuel this incident. Please keep in mind - this is exactly what I heard from reliable peeps - a few who where 'there', not 'my version'. Thanks.
Ive got good pics coming tonight. Some of the damage on the DCB and a few of Jag.

I thought Havasu was tight in spots....why don't they do these runs in larger lakes or offshore like the folks on the East do...
Grant-it a lot of parts of the delta are tight. But where the first leg happens (the only one that is at all competitve) its huge. Its very long and wide, I know its bigger than Havasu. It just has turns in it. Thats all.

IT was a 36 skater that ran over the Jag. And the people that bailed out that thought they were going to get run over were in a 36 spectre, because a 40 skater was comming right for them, it ended up slowing down enough and just nicking them.

glad someone had enough sense to slow down, guess 1 outa 2 aint bad :crossx:
and in answer to statements that big cats dont slow down very fast, there were only big cats out there when this happened and every one else slowed down...even as mentioned by detail-man, that skater slowed enough to make it minor....the one that hit us never came off plane even after hitting us, and it would have been a nice jester to turn around and see if we were alive....sorry , its been eating at me all weekend why he didnt even give a shit if we were alive

glad someone had enough sense to slow down, guess 1 outa 2 aint bad :crossx:
and in answer to statements that big cats dont slow down very fast, there were only big cats out there when this happened and every one else slowed down...even as mentioned by detail-man, that skater slowed enough to make it minor....the one that hit us never came off plane even after hitting us, and it would have been a nice jester to turn around and see if we were alive....sorry , its been eating at me all weekend why he didnt even give a shit if we were alive
Hey Ken, just got back from Tahoe and am reading about what happened. Doug called me and told me what happened...I didn't realize how bad it was until I saw the pics on here. Damn, that guy in the Skater almost wiped out my whole boating clan in one swipe. I'm thankful to hear you guys are alright. This is why I don't like participating in some of these "runs", a bunch of guys with more money than brains thinking that they're race drivers. Why don't they call it what it really is...a Poker Race.

So, a boat runs over you and doesn't stop to see if everything is OK? Did they leave and go somewhere else? Did they stop but never come over to you?
If they never came off plane, sounds like hit and run to me if there is such a thing for the water. That wouldn't be eating me up, I'd be pissed beyond belief.
This situation just sounds nuts, it must have been total chaos. Really makes me think twice about running poker runs. Kind of glad my boat is a turd.

Alright its game on now, I have been waiting all day for some that was involed to say that. What kind of a f%cking a$$hole runs over a boat and doesn't give a shit about the people whos lifes he almost took away from their familys. FIRST CLASS D!CK HEAD in my opinion, and I think that the next time I see his sorry a$$ I am gonna tell him that I feel that way for almost taking the life of my friend Ken! What an A$$ HOLE!!!!!

So, the guy that was rubbing with/hit by the small Skater never stopped and the guy in the larger Skater that ran over the Jag. never came back to check on the poor guys he ran over?
Did the DCB that ran over the small Skater that was upside down stop to check on the guys?

One question, I wonder why Dr. Evil didnt stop?
I spoke to Dr. Evil on Saturday night at the dinner.....
We wondered why he passed the first card stop without stopping.....
We sat at the first card stop and watched him blast by.....
This is before we heard about the accident......
We thought he missed the turn......
The reason he didn't stop was because he knew he had damage to the boat and didn't want to come off plane incase he sank.......
Seeing the damage, I assume he thought it was much worse on the underside...
I assume he ran it right back to the dock and put it on the trailer.....

I can't imagine someone not stopping that just ran over a boat now knowing if people were killed.

you guys are living on the edge driving that close to each other in a river :2purples: . It's very fortunate no one killed . We had over 100 boats in our Harrison PR last saturday, but you couldn't tell by looking at these two clips.

We had two groups 25 min apart . The lake gets very wide past the first island so lots of room to open up for 100+ speeds :) .
I was at Havasu recently ,and it's unbelievable how many boats have to share that narrow patch on any given day :220v: . Desalinate the Salton Sea and relocate the wildlife refuge somewhere else seems like a good idea to me :rollside: .

Piss poor excuse for bailing knowing damn well a boat flipped and in the process ejected lives whose condition was not even known. I couldnt shoulder that kinda guilt IF a life or two were lost - and I chose to save a 600K boat...with insurance. Just a guy's opinion who doesnt own a 600K boat.

Alright, I know it's a rumor and all that I heard, but this IS the internet and it's made for sharing rumors...so I heard last night that the guy in the Skater who hit the Jag took off afterwards (as we all know). and then Doug and his crew had to find the Skater owner in the bar. They found his wife first who said she wasn't going to talk to them. Ken, is this true? so, get in accident, take off, then go to the bar.
now after looking at the new pics of the DCB, how the heck did that thing keep floating? it looks like one of the sponsons is about ready to fall off...

No John this is not true as you stated and most of you just have rumors which are way outa wack .....Please John you might ask before you post any more rumors
my knowledge of what happened, being there is... and I didnt want to say anything on here but i got more pissed as i thought about it, trying to understand the other drivers emotions of how he must have felt not knowing if he had killed someone and maybe not wanting to face it...... but ya know **** him, what about us...
boat flies over our stern, after getting our shit kinda back together,making sure theres no blood in boat, or missing body parts, we look for boat that hit us, don't see it. I said it was orange I can tell ya that much. we saw a couple orange boats off in distance, but neither was coming back to us. there was no boat even close to us that could have been the one that hit us. several boats came up to us to check and help. we were busy setting an anchor out and checking motor compartment for gas leaks etc turning off batteries and just kinda securing everything while still trying to wave and slow other boats coming towards us....
we were sitting there figuring out what the hell we were going to do and just getting our senses back, trying to figure out who hit us and watching the people in water get out for approximetly 45 minutes....during this time I saw a boat sitting probably 500 yards off to our left that I just figured was the boat that hit us...just before we started getting towed back the skater cruised by us real slow and the passengers signaled are you ok we said yes..
I dont think anyone was hiding from us and we didnt have to search them out at the yacht club, thats not true, they were there and accomadating.
Im just wondering why it took him over 1/2 hour to even come back. his passengers were ok and he wasnt sinking or anything......... so i guess only the driver can say what was going thru his mind..... I think he made a bad choice in judgement to not check on us asap... my .02..... i mean christ he just ****in ran over a boat, and believe me, him and I had eye contact when he was bearing down on us...... I dont know what to say , I just don't get his not coming back ..... and I was told by someone else who said they went over to him and told him we were waiting for him.... this person said they actually saw the skater hit and fly over us and stay on plane after landing, which confirms to me there was no way he was trying to slow down before the collission.
His own statement of I was going to pass on right then saw people in water and turned back hard left also confirms this. I dont care what anyone says I know in my gut there was no way he was slowin down. the boat would have been at a total different attitude if he was off the gas and not landed and continued on plane.

I really wanted no part of this thread but I have to ask:
So you have just been in an accident on the water with many, many, other boats around like in the case of Dr. Evil... your boat is heavily damaged, to what extent you really don't know, and you have passangers on-board to think about...
It's hard to say that you would absolutely stop and put more people at risk given the circumstances. Being out in the water is not like being on the street, you hit something or someone and you don't open a door and exchange insurance cards. I'M NOT SAYING ITS RIGHT TO RUN FROM THE SCENE but before you go flaming someone consider that there could have been more lives involved then were already were.
That said it looks like the area there was pretty big... How did everyone get bottle-necked on top of each other and where is this mystery video?
And if the boats are still on the scene then what I asked really doesn't apply so at that point your just an ass if you don't make sure all involved are ok... I think thats part of boating law if I remember right?

Wow, I have to commend dave for getting that boat back to the docks. As far as not stopping when you hit another boat...I dont understand that at all??? Maybe they thought their boats were going to sink and put their own passengers in danger??? Everyone is different in a stressful situation. I know for a fact I would have jumped in to save anyone that may have been in danger wether my boat was sinking or not....but thats just me.

I was 30yds off your starboard bow, blown. I was scanning the pack for anyone closing on us when I saw that Skater launch off your stern. From my position, no way was this boat not on plane. The right sponson didnt come back down to water until it was damn near even with us, 30yds in front of you at the least.

I wasn't there so I dont know what happend but sometimes large boats with no center pod turn very poorly at lower speeds and need to be under power to make a safer turn. Maybe the skater that ran over the Jaguar was just trying to thread the needle and just ran out of room. Like Deano said who knows what was going through his mind when he hit the boat. seeing how boats were up side down and sinking it had to of been pretty hectic. Maybe he just wanted to make sure he was a good distance away form the scene so he was not hit?
Just my $.02

Just my $.02 While all of us are entitled to our opinions relative to Dr. Evils' decision to go on without stopping, and I am not saying it was right or wrong, can anyone substantiate this information? I was told that Razor was having mechanical problems with his outdrives (Arnesons) the day before the Poker Run. In addition, he was advised by his own mechanic not to run the boat Saturday. Any truth to this? If this is true, the finger should be pointed in one direction and one only!!!

I saw the underside of the skater, thanks to being in the water... it wasn't cool. When we saw the guy in the water, we were at around 90, and we were turned around in two boat lengths to get him. So in about 100 yards we went from 90, to idle with a high speed u-turn in there.

To answer your question - from being on the scene - Dr. Evil was nowhere to be seen, no pun.
Hmmm. Two things warrant suspicion in what you say you heard:
1. Being there, I've heard a couple different versions - yours not one of them.
2. Your very first post is one to a very sensitive situation.
However, in your defense, I could be wrong - and what you heard could hold truth. I am just calling it at face value. Thats all.

sitting here reading this is making my stomach turn,, like it wasnt turning enough anyway!
that guy is Not an asshole.. he would be the most cautious person on the river.. and how people can spout off is unbelievable.. the footage tells the story dont worry it will come out,,
have you ever been in a boat that could possibly sink when you are just out taking a few nice women for a ride on a poker run?
some thoughts that came to my mind;
* stop in the mids of a crash site and get hit,
* no place to go due to the boats people etc,,
* more boats come steaming in get the heck out of the way may be the best solution???
* newer cats dont just stop when you are up on plane, no brakes!
* as a captain what should one do?
make sure you crew and passengers will be out of harms way??? hang out and possibly get hit? alot of boats in tight quarters with maylay and kaos.,
I dont know i have never been in that position,,
* was there enough people around to take care of the others? do i need to be there to assist??
I have been in all the big cat runs scope delta sportboats etc

08-15-2006, 01:34 PM
OK, I have some opinions.
1st, we should not speculate as to weather someone knew they had a problem before it is verified. I mean if someone did have a problem w/ their drive on Fri, and was warned, then ran instead, that could pose a very big problem. But let's say that this sin't the case. Us speculating on here isn't going to change anything. All it will do is set off red flags for his insurance carrier b/c as some us know, the adjusters, and inspectors read our stuff here, and we could be causing some serious headache for the gentelman who had the problem.
2nd, if the Skater that hit the Jag did not come back to check on the occupants of the boat he hit afterward, there is something wrong. It sounds to me like all involved except for Dr. Evil were all in the vicinity of the accident for some time after things calmed down. Isn't there a law stating, even in a boat, you can not leave the scene of an accident? Obviously if he was still in the area before going on to the next stop, he knew his occupants were ok, and really should have gone over to check on the occupants of the other boat. I don't care what he was thinking, this is just common courtesy. Now we all know we make mistakes, and I'm sure there is some explaination. Just hope in future incidents he will check on the other vessle as well before continuing on.
I am not here to pass blame. I was not there, and only know what I've heard. We've all played telephone, and seen how things can spread, and not even be close to how it started. I just think we all need to get off our high horses and let the involved parties vent out their frusterations, and have a place where they can talk about this w/o the fear of being judged, or anything like that. I know we all get hot under the collar, especially when it's a friend of someone we care about involved in something like this, but let's allow the involved parties handle this. This now has quite a few people involved, and we all want to know how it ends, so keep on informing us please...

Can you really in the same sentence stick up for the skater driver thinking about all the harm to his passengers, his maybe sinking( then I ask why he didnt go directly to dock) getting out of the way and all the other smart things he did by not stopping and then ask yoiurself if he was that smart and thinking that good why the fock didnt he slow down before he hit at least 1 boat??? everyone else slowed but not him... was he jaw jackin with the nice women?? all I know is he never came back till almost everyone had cleared out... and never actually stopped. your excuses dont offer me much solitude pal.......... and as I recall the rules of the water your responsible when overtaking another vessel....regardless of this or that....and all the boats there were cats and the rest of us had enough brains to stop... the crashes were boats running and whatever issues they had..... evryone stopped and no crashes until he comes flying thru there and no crashes after him.. so I find it hard to cauddle him with sorry ass excuses of boat and passengers or whatever..... everyone had the same issues and seemed to respond accordingly.............. except him.... and Ill never accept any excuse for not coming back and checking on us....out

I really didnt want to have to pull this card...Mr. not a 1st time poster, been member for yrs forgot my login I know thats lame but the truth and been on OSO for last 5-6 yrs; BUT - my info came from riders on the pace boat in so far as the boats involved in the crash, among a few others, having passed the pace boat before they should've = unsafe. BTW, your response I quoted makes hardly any sense. Follow your own rules please. :cool:

While all of us are entitled to our opinions relative to Dr. Evils' decision to go on without stopping, and I am not saying it was right or wrong, can anyone substantiate this information? I was told that Razor was having mechanical problems with his outdrives (Arnesons) the day before the Poker Run. In addition, he was advised by his own mechanic not to run the boat Saturday. Any truth to this? If this is true, the finger should be pointed in one direction and one only!!!

BlownC - Biteme obviously knows more than meets his mouth. Hence comments like "just wait and justice will prevail, the truth will come out," blah, blah, blah. I didnt see Razors crash - heard sketchy details from reliable sources who were there. I did however witness yours - and you are in the right. It sucks to have someone create a new screen name and hide behind that all the while spewing emotionally charged words. Lets all give a big "Hey Thanks Guy" to Biteme for spinnin' peeps up who have a right to know what really happpened.

Cool...thats what I thought. I've done 14 poker runs over the last 5 years. They have all been fun but I knew at all times that tragedy could strike...its what happens after the tragedy that shows what kind of community we are. Im glad you dove in the water to save someone....thats exactly the kind of person I am and have done so on many occasions in the past.

comon!!
ease up..
were you there?
do you know the people?
what would you have done??
let the authorities break out the real story..
sitting here reading this is making my stomach turn,, like it wasnt turning enough anyway!
that guy is Not an asshole.. he would be the most cautious person on the river.. and how people can spout off is unbelievable.. the footage tells the story dont worry it will come out,,
have you ever been in a boat that could possibly sink when you are just out taking a few nice women for a ride on a poker run?
some thoughts that came to my mind;
* stop in the mids of a crash site and get hit,
* no place to go due to the boats people etc,,
* more boats come steaming in get the heck out of the way may be the best solution???
* newer cats dont just stop when you are up on plane, no brakes!
* as a captain what should one do?
make sure you crew and passengers will be out of harms way??? hang out and possibly get hit? alot of boats in tight quarters with maylay and kaos.,
I dont know i have never been in that position,,
* was there enough people around to take care of the others? do i need to be there to assist??
I have been in all the big cat runs scope delta sportboats etc
i know to some degree from close friends to aquaintence most of the folks that participate.
Dont judge people untill you have all the facts,
they will be out soon.. hang tight,
This guy is a complete jackass and is probably either the driver of the Skater or has ties to him and is in here doing damage control by trying to spin it like its not his fault.

Look at the slices the propellers cut into the boat... can't even imagine what it must of been like being that close to a spinning prop.

I can tell you first hand that these pics look bad, however when you look at this boat in person you relize that this pics don't do the damage any justice at all. This boat is jacked from this accident!!!! Keep in mind that the seat you see is where Ken (blowncarrera) was sitting when this boat got hit.

Damn Ken, those look really bad. I am so glad you all are alright. We can all see just how lucky you were to get out of ther unscaved. I keep thinking about how hard you must have been hit knowing how much freeboard the Jaguar has. I still can't believe that the guy that hit you didn't stop and at least ask if y'all were ok. I mean, I understand not wanting to go over there. I'm sure all of you were pissed, but sometimes you have to be a man and check on the well being of others. Can't wait to see y'all out there again...

Not to stir the pot but I also heard this.
I also heard this. It was the port side drive that snapped. As razors boat slammed into Dr. Evil the drive actually swung around and struck the port side of Dr. Evil. (a lot of force).
I've also hear the police are looking into arrests of various parties involved for various offenses (BUI, hit and run, and gross negligence). This is not over by a long shot.
The extremely harsh reality of the down side is that this one incident is going to affect boating negatively in a huge way.

That was a given....I figure the first change will be most underwriters (Markel and Ace included) will exclude Poker Runs within a 6-12 month time frame....those that want to run may have to pay more on their policy to include Poker Runs and then maybe the underwriter would still require and verify a list of runs, who is sanctioning, mandatory boating courses, etc...

Not to mentioin the additional requirements that the Coast Guard may put on these types of events if they even continue to grant permits. It is entirely possible that Poker Runs as we have come to know them will change dramatically. All speculation on my part, but I could very easily see some of that happening.

Some of these guys out there are reaching speeds much faster than professional boat racers... maybe they should hold them to the same standards. Full race gear, helmets and training. It's kind of ludicrous when you think about it... would a race track or its officials let someone who has enough money with no training get behind the wheel of a race car in shorts and a t-shirt who has also maybe had a couple beers and run 150 m.p.h. around the track?

Good point grads1212. It is only a matter of time before we have to have a lisence to operate a boat. (which we should) goes along with another class lisence for towing them trailers...

I gotta be honest I'm surprised something like this didn't happen sooner. These poker runs are a disaster waiting to happen. If you ever watch that 160mph Predator video you can see where a DCB loses a drive and makes a hard right going behind Predator.. What would've happened if they were side by side, or the DCB was ahead by a little bit?
Alot of these guys are:
Driving way above their talent
Going Way (and I mean WAAAYYYYY) to fast in a pretty tight formation
Running equipment that can break at anytime causing a severe turn to "come outta nowhere" (I don't even want to hear it.. Any cat running a bravo drive and more then an HP500 is gambling in one of these things, and I don't much care who went through it)
Very little safety equipment (the stuff they are wearing sure as shit isn't rated for the speeds their achieving.. Unless of course I'm just not seeing the parachutes on the backs of the lifejackets and ballistic shorts, driving suit, helmets with neck braces etc..)
Probably having a couple of cocktails,
and then on top of all that.. Taking 3 or 4 people, that usually have no clue about boating (read that as hot chicks), and who's family would sue anybody and everybody in a heartbeat if something happened, along for the ride.
If you watch alot of the poker run videos, alot of these guys (especially v-bottom guys) run their equipment to the absolute limit, and they don't give a shit who's in the boat with them, or who's driving around them. They'll chine walk the boat to the point of almost throwing people out of it, then back off until it settles down only to whack the gas and over trim it again trying to get every last mph out of it during what's suppose to be a recreational afternoon on the water. Much beyond the 2 or 3 guys running for first to the cardstop, nobody really cares when the rest of the pack shows up or in what order?
Wouldn't take much for a Cat to lose a drive and wipe out god knows how many boats a minute or so after the start.. Or a big v-bottom to chinewalk and hook running over god knows how many boats until the guy gets it under control again. Lots of step bottom V's out their with some severe handling quirks and people are running those same boats full of people at ungodly speeds in these things..
I can understand why everyone wants to be 1st to the cardstop.. It's to get out and away from the pack of nutjobs. LOL

mbrown2.... yes police reports were filed in our incident and I'm sure in all the rest also... Just got back from having some estimates done on the jag and razors skater just left the impound before we went by it and the sherrif is going to look at the jag again today we were told.
As far as insurance Im betting some of the fixes wont involve the carriers at all....the deep pockets will just write a check and fix what they broke.... just my hunch....therefore no insurance reports but with the police reports they may see them anyways... im not sure on that part... we are hoping the jag will be done in a month.....its being worked on as we speak(type)
DaveC actually I was in the front passenger seat in front of the back one you see... Frank was sitting there, and he kissed the floor when he saw the skater coming. Never seen that boy move so fast :) or maybe he just fainted.... lol..
