I really want to know the outcome of that.

Quite a few charges and a couple of lawsuits to boot. Apparently the driver was sitting down behind the console, possibly playing with his phone, and could not see where he was going. 

Luckily there were no major injuries. Just som hypothermia and bumps and bruises.

I saw that. As someone who captains a vintage 15' trihull, this is a terrifying video.

31 ft is pretty dang big for a boat! Much bigger and it’s a ship. ;)

This happens with airboats flattening kayak fishermen in the marsh. 

Air Boaters cruise across the marsh grass  occasionally crossing a small canal or bayou. 

Sometimes a kayak fisherman is invisibly in the way because the marsh grass is taller than the fisherman.

IF there's alcohol involved there could be jail time.

Never thought about that. I think if I were kayak fishing out there I'd give serious consideration to an orange pennant like they run on trucks playing in the sand dunes

the weldcraft (the boat that was run over) survived surprisingly well. It was towed to the docks still floating on it's lines. The superstructure was destroyed and there were visible prop marks to the left of the engine, but it held up better than I thought it would

Sounds like a job for Phil Swift, and Flex Tape.

Seeing how well the little boat held up, I wonder the Bayliner did.

Probably not as well, fiberglass hulls don't like being smashed in to things

Weldcraft needs to trade that man a new boat and use this one as an ad! Damn!

Bayliner's name is also a sick nickname. As in the bay is lined with them. Their build quality is to build their boats as thin as possible and hope nobody notices you are paying for a lot more 'glass than you get.

A real life version of the scene in Caddyshack. Unless the driver of the big wake maker suffered a medical event while at the wheel, I hope they throw the book at him or her.

Q: You know why Bayliners don't have port hole windows?  

A: You don't need them, the sunlight shines right through the fiberglass.
