this story was emailed to me with the pics. Not sure about the details, but the pics are sure a bummer.

FishHog

It is a 38 foot Fountain. The owner had it for about a week and has not made the
first payment on the 375,000 dollar pricetag. He was going 80 mph made a sharp turn, it threw him and his passenger out of the boat. He did not have his kill switch on, so it steadily accelerated until it hit the bank, went airborne and split on this tree.

well, i am thinking that if this guy had the money to make the payments on a 375,000 pleasure boat he will just get another one and he is counting his lucky stars that he wasnt in it.

Hopefully, he was smart enough to put insurance on it before disconnecting his brain for the ride.

If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
