You wonder why people don't like lawyers. If people could take responsibility for there actions you wouldn't need them half the time. I understand the point about cruisers and their wakes. But not this time, there was probably a hundred different wakes out there slamming into each other, so which cruiser is to blame? I don't know how anybody could blame anyone other than the driver after watching that video.

i agree the guy was standing up no bolster would have kept him in the seat standing up for that or the people just lounging around in the cockpit. Going WOT and lett your passengers stand up, great idea.

I am not sure what I find more funny:
- The fact you got truthful responses back on that
- The amount of people that took offense to it
- How you failed to mention this guy is driving YOUR boat this weekend!!

I'll second this reply for sure.
Michael was spot on. My late FIL had a Mainship performance trawler that was as big as a Greyhound bus and twice as wide in the water, although his wake was huge it still didn't compare to some of the really big sport fisher or the commercial fishing boats.

IMO, only very few of us get to enjoy the ability of hitting multiple salt water bays and the ICW in addition to true offshore powerboating, and also being able to travel some inland rivers and lakes.

This, my internet friends, besides our awesome weather is why the Gulf Coast rocks.

See ya,

Since we're in question on the blame,

In the spirit of this weeks DNC in Charlotte,
clearly, the blame should be placed on G.W.B.

I guess if your driving a fountain it's "driver error" however if your a Gazzillionaire with a 200mph cat it's everyone else's fault? Wasnt it a cruiser wake that was "to blame" for the My Way mishap?

Hmmm.....

mike tkach

no,it was driver error

n20michael

I agree! I was just pointing out how many people on THIS thread consider it "driver error" and how many people on the "other" thread (based on a similiar topic) where quick to blame someone else.

I'm in New Orleans enjoying myself. Plus I get paid (well) to do legal research. The chances of me doing it just to prove to you something I already know are pretty damned slim. Maybe next week and then only maybe.

But someone hit it on the button - there is no evidence of a cruiser wake causing this accident, so this is really the wrong thread and I got sucked in by some of the ppl saying cruisers can do whatever they want. For what it's worth, I was just over at the river watching a container ship go by throwing a 3 foot wake. I guess the captain just had plenty of time to get his load wherever it was going - probably not a safety thing. Lol If he can keep his wake small, why can't cruisers?
