Ya got to watch this one...........

Fat ass on a cockpit easy boy dies. Looks like excessive BMI and
failure to maintaine deck fasteners. My guess is crevis corrosion at
head of SS machine screw.... nah, they used ss wood screws and they
just pooped out.

Forget the fat ass insult - you have no evidence for that. If you have
never had a pedestal seat break away, then it's just one more event in
your future.
What you SHOULD be on his case for, is this:
his kids were ALL wearing life-jackets, but he wasn't.
He wasn't a strong swimmer, and the Columbia river is cold, cold, cold
at this time.
