For someone with as much disdain for Chuck's Place as you have demonstrated here, you sure spend a lot of time reading the posts there and commenting on them here, even the ones you don't understand, which, apparently, is most of them. Interesting you don't post there. No balls for *that* either, I suppose. |

I then brought up another fatal accident several years back also involving a cigarette boat hitting another boat at a high rate of speed. He told me that the man who was killed was a docker at his marina. He had just graduated from college with high honors and his parent purchased him the 29 foot boat as a graduation gift. They went out on the boat for the first time when a man from Leamington, Canada plowed his 38 foot boat at 50 mph into the young mans boat. The accident occurred in broad daylight. http://justice.org/homepage/boat1008.aspx http://www-catalog.cpl.org/CLENIX/ACT-4248 |

He was able to transfer his assets in a timely manner and his boat conveniently was torched while it was still insured. Nice guy. |
