Cracks me up the guy is wondering why they sued him. In my view $300k is a pretty light amount given what happened.

The driver is dumbfounded as to why he is being sued. Wait til the other 2 file their suits, its gonna be over $1 million. the most damning evidence in my opinion is the S-I-L stating he was using his phone :bash:

That's crazy.

He probably only had 300k liability coverage. Attorneys going for the low hanging fruit...

I've never had that close of a call, but some of these a-holes with boats either don't pay a lot of attention to people fishing or just don't give a damn as they have blown by me full speed at less than 30 yards while I am drifting.

I'm surprised no one is calling for a ban on high powered motors, or a limit on the amount of gas you can carry.

Saw something similar on lake Washington with an absolute idiot flying and swerving in his big old boat thru all the boat traffic until he absolutely rammed a boat like in the video.
Idiots......... :bash:

I was out on the water that day and the house we were staying in was owned by the disabled guy driving the Trophy. Clueless doesn't even begin to describe this man. No remorse whatsoever. He had the nerve to say that "they had plenty of time to get out of his way." His boat was pretty trashed too, but nothing like that charter boat. Lucky nobody froze and stayed in the boat.
Oh boy, you’re probably getting a invite to court with him being sued. :chuckle:

We don't go to lake Cavanaugh anymore between May-Aug. anymore because of too many close calls like that video. Too many people & too many people that don't care.On 3 day weekends we stay on the dock.

When my folks were on the fire department they responded to multiple drunks running aground on the rock shelf east of the small island.I'm assuming they're not on the department anymore. If they were they wouldn't have any peace and quiet these days, they'd be out on calls every other day, all weekend long too, if they were.

We were in a thick fog bank 3 years ago so we were mooching for salmon when out of the back comes two boats on step! Apparently they figured their radar let them see real time. The first swerved and the second one, who was on the ass of the other cut throttle and did the same. We were speechless.
This summer we're anchored between 150-200 ft of water on a point. Lots of room to go around us and others anchored to the north(miles of room) but no, some guides, regular boats and a few commercial have to squirrel their way between the "anchored" on step! I just don't understand.
One day my wife said: is it a rule the bigger the boat the bigger the ass hole?".
Our rule when out on the water is give way, I run most days with lights on unless it's sunny, use horn occasionally at anchor when we see a boat approach and no indication they have seen us. Had a very large seiner heading at us last summer apparently the skipper had it on auto pilot didn't turn until 50-30 yards away. I've got 600' of anchor line with a least 300 out or scope so getting out of the way isn't an option. My wife almost shot a flare at their boat.
