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.

Everything looks big when its barreling down at you at top speed.
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.

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.

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.
