Look to be right at the transom line, so I suspect those are the hanging rings for his boathouse or similar. Should hold as long as they don't totally punch/jerk it out of there

About 7 mph slower than a corresponding Skater.

Kind of wonder if he was avoiding someone.

Saw this posted on FB, however I don't have any first hand knowledge of the incident.

Remember when OSO was the place to learn about an accident like this, now it's all over Tik Tok, Instamodel, and snatch chat lol!

Sounds like they were realatively experienced boaters, going fast, maybe touching it off with another boat, accidentally trimmed down too far while cornering which hooked, caught, over corrected, which sent them into the woods. Miraculously they are ok, doesn't sound like anyone was ejected, and the boat held up better than most of today's paper mache would!!!
