It’s my dads boat, his friend was driving and got it on plane with out the graph booted up yet and hit the island at night. Completely dumb but good people make mistakes sometimes. Luckily no one was hurt badly, he got a few stitches in his forehead and the driver got a few bruises. The boat on the other hand is a tank, when I heard about it I thought for sure total loss. I went and assessed the damage after it was put on the trailer yesterday and was amazed. Steering wheel is bent from impact, rub rail on front left is ripped out, and fell coat is damaged on the front left. No gouges or stress cracks on the hull at all, no ding in the prop, no wobble in the prop shaft, no cracks in transom, tilt and trim works fine and power poles as well. Hell the batteries were still sitting in their trays, truly amazing. It’s going to Randy Qualls to be checked out completely so will know more then, but everyone was truly lucky could have been much worse. Very Lucky is right but you would think as far up on dry land someone was moving at a pretty good pace in the dark. I wished you would have video it getting back in the water

Stuff happens at night even when one knows the body of water. I took this picture at Guntersville a few years ago. Another island deal. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/9Qn5C5h3/20151009-104342.jpg)

Expand your story - it was two drunk guys trying to get their boat to 109mph , again, with no life jackets, no kill swithches and two girls flashed their boobs at them and they lost focus for a moment, jumping two wave runners, three pontoon boats before they ended up landing on Gilligans Island...� Serioiusly, glad they were ok!

Come on guys. Who hasn't done that 2 or 3 times Does the fact that you say you have done that 2-3 times have anything to do with your name? Were you reaching for the Cheetos?  Lol, actually i don't partake in that

I bet he did this at night. Not knowing the lake Never thought much about running at night with a good GPS and knowledge of the lake until you run up on someone dead in the water with no lights. Slow down.
