Tim.. Thanks but, I know that boat... It does 60 MPH wide open.. NO WAY was it wide open.. To fishemen 25mph is FAST....

That noise you hear couild be like a Harley - Does a load Harley mean it's going FAST?

I'd bet it was going 25MPH - Yes, obviously too fast given the tragedy but, people and media make this out like some Billionaire was driving 120 mph in his half million dollar boat showing off...

not quite,

A 40' boat 100 yards away from water deep enough for it to float in. 25mph - I don't think so!! He went through the semi closed bridge at at least 40 kts. Piss poor judgement - epsecially when you consider he was drinking.

If these as****es enjoy risky behavior, they should go skydiving. At least this type of activity keeps risk to innocent people at a minimum. Not to mention how TOTALLY OBNOXIOUS these boats are.
