How fast do you think the boat was going when it hit that tree?

I don’t know but looking at how far the tree went through the boat and how far the boat went up the side of the hill I bet it was faster then trolling speed. My bet he opened her up to full throttle after all why do you buy a boat like that fore???

According to a member of Classic Whaler, he is a mutual friend of the driver of this Fountain. Both occupants were unharmed when thrown from the boat. Driver claims "I trimmed it out, then throttled up and the boat took a hard right. They think the trim tab switch stuck." Huh?

It gets better. $375K, not one payment made, and insurance on a binder. AND, this was his SECOND Fountain! First one sank off Destin, Fla. and insurance never paid out because location was outside the color-reg lines and he did not know that his coverage ended there. It should be noted that his safety lanyards were not hooked in either. Now that's an expensive day on the water!
