Can anyone else reconfirm this.
Visited the "outlaws" this past weekend up on Keowee. They were informing me of an incident on Hartwell. Some "bozo" first-time new boat owner got a 42' power-boat (Formula, Fountain, not sure on make). 5-days old. He & a buddy of his were out joy riding. They took a sharp-turn & were thrown from the boat. The boat continued, at high speed, up onto shore and a hit a tree. Now for the fun part. The boat hit in such a way so-as to split the boat perfectly down the centerline. Completely totalled. Most stupid part is the kill-cord was still attached to the ignition.

Anyone else hear this?

....This incident is just plain careless.
Or did they die?

Yeah, I know that they have to die but these two didn't. But they were close to it.
