Re: Lund hits break wall
A completely avoidable accident. Running a boat at 30 - 40 mph (article says that's what he was doing) at night is a pretty dumb thing to do. Depending on an autopilot/gps to drive the boat for you, when you have not made a point of knowing the area well enough to navigate by yourself, is even worse. Its bad enough that the adullts got hurt, but sending a toddler to the hospital with two broken legs sort of gets you angry!
I was out in my boat today and was "treated" to the sight of some moron, who was running through the bends in a bayou at about 80 mph. The boat was the typical "go fast" bass boat, with a great big Verado, much like the one on the Lund. This boat was running on about a foot of the hull (center section only) and was barely in control, as is also common. I actually thought he was going to lose it, when he went over my wake.
Whatever happened to a nice, relaxed ride in the boat to wind down from everyday life? Seems like everything these days as to be at "78 speed!"
