Accident up toward pirates

[Singleton]

I knew i saw a nipple in the pic.

I think it was a set of boobies - ceramic coating has a mirror finish

Jesus H Christ guys you have to get a grip. There might come a time when you don't necessarily want details of your belongings, friends, family, other personal information etc. posted on an internet forum for public consumption without your consent.

It is not "censorship" honoring a request of someone to remove a picture of a boat you have nothing to do with, from a situation that does not impact you at all.

That’s an odd statement , because someone who buys a $1M boat and runs it up and down the River at 130mph is screaming look at me …

 

[Cobalt232]

We were at Topock when it was towed in. I talked with someone who was in the boat. I did take a photo of it as it came in. He asked me not to post any photos and I can respect that.

it's funny like that. depending on who it is or who they know, that thread could have been the more common "driver ran out of talent" thread, but this one is the less common "move along there's nothing to see here..."

Welcome to the real world, where some stuff is just no one else’s business.

I will say I’m sure Dave would honor that same request to delete the pictures from any member.

Why does that make you care about them and their life more than someone else with a $50k boat? It is your choice to look at them....

I didn’t see any, I’ll look at the pic again.

Those of us with 10k boats are like ninjas...nobody sees us, or cares...
I'm good with that.

Well,there is no doubt the owner of that boat had & has the talents needed to purchase that boat. Next up not much doubt he will build another boat of the same caliber. This story (much of it none of our business) has a long way to go,several more chapters. The support from his wife is incredible and telling.
Also,RD stepping up personally helping out a member is nothing new.

 

[white tortilla]

I noticed in the picture he was missing the quagga sticker but didn’t want to stir up any trouble. Makes sense deleting now.

While the owner can build another one and I hope he does. I am not sure he will.
IMO, That type of accident can really ruin your mojo and make you question what type of family boating you want to do.

Start out with glad all are safe. Back in the day when one of groups car would mysteriously end up in a ditch or a planter, some one would get a call to go back and get the......( Fill in the blank) out of the trunk) glove box. All before cell phone cameras.

If Eliminator is getting $1M a piece for these Speedsters they’ve got a hell of a sales rep that I hope is making all the money because he’s earned every penny.

I’m thinking 550K

[Melloyellovector]

For fuks sake. Who cares if pic deleted

I can absolutely relate. When I totaled my sandrail In Glamis. There was real time footage pics and video posted all over the internet.
I could have very easily lost my life from the crazy violent crash I had. Luckily was solo in car and survived with out major injuries.
Instantly people were making assumptions.
Car had well over 150k into it. And many hands were involved in the build.
There was a cause found pretty quick.
Calls were made to parties involved and we all agreed shut down the online frenzy. Keep on the DL to save face for everyone.
Collectively we got all pics, videos etc all deleted and gone from online existence.
Got the car out of glamis, transported middle of the night for less chance of freeway posts, stored it in a warehouse offsite from most prying eyes.
No insurance to get involved on high dollar sand toys. They max out at damn near what motors cost alone.
In the end car was rebuilt by all parties involved. We all survived and were all still friends. Carry on you nosey fucks

What happened to boat, pics, etc is no ones business.

 

[HALLETT BOY]

Because this is a performance boating website , nobody does a double take at a Bayliner going 25mph up river .

Seems as if he was not going too terribly fast when all this went down..

 

[rivrrts429]

It separated the deck beyond the helm. Everything behind the helm is gone.

Thats like a RZR cage folding in on itself from a rock crawl flop on its side.

 

[Activated]

Pm 460 for the pic and details.

It is available in the RDP store.

Maybe they should have laminated a couple bolts into the layup.

I have no facts on this but I don’t see everyone surviving if he was going 90+..

 

[Singleton]

Maybe, but end of day I think it makes you question your next boat.
My son had a major quad accident (life flight, emergency surgery, 10 days in ICU, etc), when he was 13. 7 years later, I still can’t get him on a quad and the enjoyment he had on quads is gone. He wants nothing to do with off-roading now. Sad to see, since he loved it from age 5 when papa started riding them with him.

I see what you did there lol

I don’t want to speculate but if that’s damage from a low speed spin I’ve got concerns.

Good news is that everyone walked away essentially.

Neighbor came out of a Skater at 80 and they lived but were F’ed up.

Seems if you can exit the boat at a survivable speed without bouncing off everything on your way out, you stand a good chance of a positive outcome.

Did his deck separate?

 

[n2otoofast4u]

Remind me to never screw up! Fkn lynch mob in here. He crashed, no major injuries, nobody that’s posted to this point has 2 dollars vested in the outcome of investigation, or reasoning of incident.

There are Prius crashed everyday at all speeds, there are Ferrari’s crashed everyday at all speeds. The object crashed, or location crashed makes zero impact on the end result.

My favorite part of all of the “I want to know” “I think this” “this matters because” crowd in here are guys with sub 100mph vessels that haven’t a fkn clue what can/does/will happen when piloting fast shit.

Stick to adding pretty billet shit to your 496HO resin bucket, and spend less time/energy babbling about a boat you’ve most likely never seen, let alone owned/driven something similar!

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

No, but that sounds like a personal question.

 

[Devious_Chris]

That's all? shit. I'll order one monday.

Call me tomorrow and we can get your order confirmed! No need to wait until Monday

Easy there Fauci. That’s a lot of assumptions made about who’s watching this thread.

RD will likely shut it down soon and all our concerns will disappear, poof.

haha you win rdp for the week haha

 

[702sandman]

Lanyard still hanging there is my guess

 

[gqchris]

At least the owner lives to be able to now do the damage control this accident will bring. He is obviously a smart guy to be successful and own a half million dollar toy. This next chapter is going to be not so fun for him. Part of this aftermath is whats happening here. Get all pics and info muted. Because there is going to be a shitstorm of things to sort out I assume. Rdp has huge google rank and its no surpise to start here.

Beats the alternative though.

 

[Bpracing1127]

Man RDP has gone full woke. What’s next a mandatory diversity inclusion class? Talk about full sensor ship.

Look a picture of a eliminator torn up!!! Guess I am going to get banned now for posting a boat accident picture on a boating website

It’s censorship Ian.. not sensor ship. Pretty sure that’s radar.
On a separate note.. If i ever roll a boat, i would hope that the pics don’t get posted until after everything is cleared up. Insurance, lawsuits, etc.

Technically that wasn’t an Eliminator though

Haha sorry this was early in the morning half asleep.


As far as the boat. I was first on seen. This was a few years ago. Up in needles. Guy was hauling ass 70+ brand new deck boat and hit a wake surfing wake and stuffed it. All passengers flew out and drive stayed in. No body was seriously hurt.

My point was is Dave going to censor me because I posted a boating accident? Dear lord quit being the gestapo and truly be a collection of ideas inputs and thoughts regardless of content.

I guess hypocritical comes to mind when I see this thread

 

[Riverryder]

@Bpracing1127 when was that holy shit! That looks like up by Jack smith or needles marina.
This past weekend I could see how that can happen. 3 boats motors off just floating someone not paying attention that could happen pretty quick.

These won’t get taken down. Because I’ve never seen that boat on the cool speedster crews ig

@ONE-A-DAY what do you mean it’s not an eliminator?

 

[Bpracing1127]

Yes it is. Eliminator deck brand new at the time

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Yes it is. Eliminator deck brand new at the time

Wasn't brand new at the time. It started its life as an Eliminator, but had gotten damaged by the previous owner and the sponson that fell apart was part of a large repair that was done on that boat by another manufacturer.

 

[Sherpa]

that boat is tore up.... glad everyone survived. that's not the result of a 30 mph "spin out"........ thats big air-time followed by submarine sponson time.
the "i assume driver-owner" of the boat has a big bruise on his right torso.... ouch. I wouldn't run that hard (like they do in beaumont) having kids or
a pregnant wife onboard myself, but then my little tournament boat only goes 40 flat out which I only get to do for a punch once in a great while.

I've been worse black and blue like that and I know the pain associated with it.........

as for comments about 'nobody take or post pics" until insurance payout/hospital out of picture, etc. doubtful. everyone carries a cell phone
with a camera now. dozens of pics posted of everything within minutes of the issue.

stop with those facts. Facts are not allowed anymore

I know, just messing with you. It could be argued that there was something to be learned on the deck boat crash. The lack of facts leading to the latest crash means there isn’t much to learn. That and there are tons of deck boat owners on RDP where the 33’ crowd is pretty limited. The lessons are as transferable. The pics were there for those that were curious to see what it looked like. Didn’t serve a purpose. Doesn’t befront me that they’re gonn

I do still think my premium membership plus thousands in RDP MERCH purchases should allow me one free delete of my choice though.

 

[oldschool]

Glad everyone was OK. SO, this boat was repaired and the sponson that came apart was the part that was previously damaged and repaired?
