Hope everyone is ok.

My River neighbor text me that it was one of the Brothers with a fast boat on our Row at Echo. Not sure who just finished with work going to make some calls.

I saw the video on river_degenerates on IG. Shitty. Looks like he hit a roller and went airborne. Im hoping for good news.

I’m not so sure he hit a roller. That boats back quarter was folded significantly when it went airborne.

I sure hope he pulls through and is okay with just bumps and bruises.

That thing really went to the moon. Nothing about it looked like a normal spill. Hoping the best for the driver.

I don't know...don't see any rollers...looked like something went wrong with the boat cause it does not even look that fast...but definitely violent...hopefully the driver recovers 100%

Just watched the video. Only person I can think of from my Row is last spot from the end. They have several flatties. Happened right in front of My Friends places not sure if any of them are out there yet and saw it.

From my old man... Old school river rat.

My analasis is the propshaft. It looked like what happens when the forward universal joint on a car breaks and the drive shaft digs into the pavement and pogos the car butt first usually up and left or right depending which way the rear attached drive shaft goes. Looked bad, sank instantly, hull must of broken and the weight of the engine drug the boat to the bottom. Any word on the driver and or passenger?

:sad: Anyone have a confirmed last name of “Mitch”. Have a family friend that is a regular there and want to be sure it is not him....

Definitely a good idea for all of us V-drive guys to double check our safety collar. Sad deal for the boat and owner. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

One of my biggest fear on my vdrive junk was/is the shaft coming out and going into the rudder. I ran a collar just off the strut, and another just off the seal. Might be overkill, but that shit scares the F outta me!

Prayers for the guy involved in today’s deal!

We have both been overkill on anything that "goes fast"



Hope the best for all involved and wish for a speedy recovery!!
