Which esteemed member of this board...

[Havasu Hangin']

...got a wreckless driving ticket at Havasu this weekend?
Something about passing a cop at 90MPH on the river near the sandbar?
Hmmmmmm.....

[Tom Brown]

JetBoatGuru?

[Mandelon]

Shouldn't that be a Wreck-Less ticket....what's the problem? Unsafe for conditions?

[Havasu Hangin']

I hear cops don't like to be passed close enough to get sprayed.
We'll need to narrow it down...I don't think it was MMD...
Hmmmmm.....

[jlnorthrup122]

Can I say "YOOOOOOOOUUUUDUUUMMMMMBBBASSSSSS!!!":D :D :D

[Tom Brown]

Yes, but not like that.

[Havasu Hangin']

OK...I don't think it was Tom Brown...he was home on the permafrost.
It wasn't me...my boat doesn't go that fast.
I wasn't jlnorthrup122...he wouldn't call himself a dumass...OK maybe he would.
Hmmmmm.....

[LakeRacer]

it was a DCB cat. Can't remember what size. I think the color was red. Is this the one you're talking about?
I saw it happen. From my viewpoint it looked like a close pass not only to the cops but also some other boats. I said to myself that he's probably gonna get pulled over and sure enough.....

[FMluvswater]

Only one I know of with a red boat is Catmando but he doesn't live around Havasu I don't think. I'm out of guesses.

[Tom Brown]

Deosn't Mr. Restless have a red DCB? :confused:

[J540]

Catmando lives in texas so he aint to far from Havasu!

[LakeRacer]

he would have been free and clear if he had kept going up river. But once the cop saw him slow down and go around to the other side of the sand bar the chase was on.

[Kilrtoy]

he has a red DCB

[Boatjob26]

I guess Unionjack......:D

Personally I think it was the Trunk Monkey...
Wonder if he still had that wad of cash and Donut for the nice officers...

[Kachina26]

It was the guy hangin' next to me in the channel, someone was giving him crap about a ticket. Now all ya gotta do is figure out who was next to me.

[jbtrailerjim]

My guess is Union Jack. His boat will definitely run that and he's a roookie.;) :D

[Jordy]

Maybe it was this one:
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/22machforsale-med.jpg

I've had like 20 or 25. You got more?
For some reason my insurance company gives me a safe driver discount:D

Originally posted by ROZ

Nope wasn't me, I was on the other side of the sandbar with some Oompa's. We heard someone got a ticket but we couldn't see over all the RC boats:D

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

so who was it. :confused:

[UnionJack]

I thank everyone selling me out or at least hinting.... I was doing 92, when some a**hole pulled off the sand bar and with two boats coming at me and one boat floating in the middle I figured stay on it and drive because I am in control, with the distance I had to go it would of been unsafe to let off, so I let her eat. The cop was pissed cause he was all wet, and then to find out that he lives a couple of houses away from me. I still got a ticket and that was no thanks to my wife saying he was just upset that his boat was slower. But he ran me through all the steps, and notified me that I have a court date on the 24th of may... which is perfect because I will be out there getting ready for M-day. Thanks for playing the game... I'm sure this is thanks to GrassPay$, who is not on the forums or at the lake, but the boat ran great all weekend, unlike this guy who is running twin viper motors.

[fourspeednup]

Getting towed through the channel, ouch! I'd have opted to pay for gas+beer and take the long way around the island:D

[rivercrazy]

How crowded was the sandbar that day? Most of the time I've hung out there running 92 anywhere near there wouldn't in my opinion be the safest of maneuver's.....Its usually quite crowded...

[RiverToysJas]

Yeah I'd be mad like that cop too, if I was soaked by a boat doing 92 through a crowded area. At least you didn't have any parts fail or catch a wake wrong, run over another boat, or kill anyone's family ........... this time.
I can understand you not expecting the unexpected, but not expecting someone to pull out of the sandbar??? :confused:
I hope your insurance company is understanding of the whole issue.

I agree, 92 by the sandbar is not smart anytime.

[Kachina26]

So was that you sitting next to me in the channel? I wasn't really talkative, I was pretty much wiped from a day in the sun and a 4am drive out there.

So that ticket was for Reckless Endangerment right?

Sounds good. Let's hope the cop dries off before the court date.

We've gone 100+ past the sandbar a few times.
It depends on what time of the day...or what time of the season (some times are more crowded than others).

Fight it? Hmmm...
Ya know, I've gotten a few tickets in my time, and without exception, deserved them (usually deserved worse than I got). As much as it hurts to admit it, usually the cops are right, which is good since they're trained to recognize and deal with situations, and that's what we trust them to do. Not once have I thought of trying to fight it, or weasel out on a technicality. In my more enlightened moments I actually used the experiences to try and learn something and appreciate the fact that the outcome wasn't (much) worse than it could have been.
Now I wasn't there and didn't see your incident, so perhaps I shouldn't be commenting. However, I did pass the sandbar several times this weekend and didn't top 30 mph. Usually I was barely on plane because of the traffic. Maybe your situation was different, or maybe not???
Let's just appreciate the fact that noone got hurt...
-brian
ps: I've done some wfo passes past the sandbar too, just not when it was real busy.

[roln 20s]

but the boat ran great all weekend, unlike this guy who is running twin viper motors
I think that Eliminator sucks- I saw it out there. Now, I am a huge fan of open bow boats, but a 36' canopy cat with an open bow is just plain stupid IMO. Way to ruin a nice deck. Plus, now knowing that it doesn't run makes me like it even less.
Too bad about the ticket--I've watched people fly by the sandbar in triple digits many times. I guess it just depends on the times. Good luck with this Union--by the way, love the truck and boat pic posted in Tow Rigs.
