Too much power?

Thanks to PeteD for sending me this:
1,050 Horsepower In The Hands Of A Moron!!
I guess being able to buy it, doesn’t mean you can drive it.
37' 2010 Contender
Check out this Contender that "ran aground". Boat was only 6 hours old.
Operator claimed he was doing 28 knots. Both people on board were 100%
sober. Cost him $10,000 to have Tow Boat US pull him back to the water.
4 tow lines parted in the process. MSRP on the boat ranges from $300,000 to
$400,000 depending on options."

The dealer
Might of fitted the hydrolic steering back to front. Turn left go right. Had it happen on a boat I sold, but I didn't end that far up the beach lol. Got back to the ramp and nicely asked the fittters to have another look. Reckon that guy might take up another hobby, dam expensive that boating.

Seen that one a while ago.
Seen that one a while ago. He ran aground at high tide. Props ran through the grass before boat came to rest. Then tide went out and made it look worse.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

There was a shot of a Bream
There was a shot of a Bream boat in QLD a few years ago floating around. The boat had been driven well and truly for about 80 feet on the bank. The guy had been following a track on his GPS at night and hadn't realised the massive drop in dam depth and his short cut was cut very short.
It was a Haines Hunter Pro Sport just can't remember the angler but the boat was just fine. Other than a few scratches. Just goes to show at night anything is possible.
