I'd love to wade up in there and ease off with those 525s and ITS but I heard that was the only way they were able to locate the boat right after the wreck - the engines screaming up in the woods!

Probably stretched a couple rod bolts but I'd still love to get my hands on that hardware!

Croozin,
I will be home for the royal purple run. Swapped out a week with my releif. Gave him the 4th of july. We got a parking spot at the prop stop. Lea told me she spoke to you a few weeks ago. Lets do the capt's party in Baton Rouge that thursday. Going down river, what side was it on? Did not realize it happened at night!!!!!!!! Sounds like a repeat of what happened to "storm debri" a while back. Lets all take notice and remember that we are responsible for all our passengers safety and the people around us.

The wreck happened in almost the same spot as Storm Debris. Maybe one curve more or less and on the same side, to the left going down stream.
Law enforcement will be like flies on $hit for the rest of the Summer. Definitely will be drinking some vitamin water until we get the boat back on the lift in the evenings.

Croozin,O.K. See you at the capt party then. 7 pm thursday. Not the hooters on college drive. Last year we all gathered up after and went to Gold Club. VERY interesting. Lea wore glitter for a week.

No tellin what will happen to this boat. From what I hear, it could be repaired. But, unless insurance is going to cover the bill, I wouldn't want to dump that much money back into it. Part it out and start over.

I've kept quiet, but I totally agree......this will put a lot more attention on the Top Guns in the river AGAIN this summer. Can't really blame the Law for it......this sort of incident is making a bad name for all of us! Most of the police attention was previously focused on the smaller boats.
Wouldn't be surprised if a speed limit is posted on the river in the near future.
Straight bottom or stepped, the throttles will move in both directions........especially when turning!!!

Can't agree more with everything you said. We typically don't get harassed much because I don't like attracting unnecessary attention to our boat. I maintain a safe speed, observe the "rules of the road" and keep my passengers on the calm side. I don't mind anyone having a good time but when you start acting stupid, you will find yourself on the nearest dock - and quickly.
I, too, look for a speed limit very soon and much more stringent "courtesy stops". Just another incident at a river that has a very unforgiving history. There has been at least a fatality a year for the past several. Maybe we will get out of this one without another.
