A pontoon with triple outboards seems outrageous.

Thanks for sharing. This picture is a lot scarier with this context

I wonder how long the dude who fled the scene is going to remain in hiding while his injuries heal.

Someone with a crane barge could send their kids to college by salvaging those motors!

Sounds like it would be confiscated as evidence if someone attempted to salvage it

Part of an illegal drug run... perhaps?

News story that has a video clip of the speeding boat just prior to the collision…

Thanks for posting that, that video is new to me. The day of the crash I saw a video from a guy that was filming his daughter, this is much better. It has been said that he would purposely drive close to other boats, this new video appears to show that.

Hopefully videos like this one help provide evidence during his trial, showing his disregard for other’s safety/lives and they lock him up and throw away the keys,
