BTW, I have close to 40 years experience in a bass boat.

Did you report him?

I guess the original 13 page thread bashing the guy wasn't enough.

Not sure who this angler is. I did not see the other thread.

My 07 Z boat was totaled in an on the water collision...cracked the hull and cap. I drove it to the trailer.

Several boat manufacturers would have survived that, not just a Ranger, complete driver error

So who's in the OP? Is that Aaron Britt?

I would clean my shorts and never post stupid crap I did on line. He ran hard until he didn't. Hope he learns from his mistakes as GOD will only give you so many before he cashes in your chips.

I’d feel for the guy getting piled on if he had one ounce of regret or any type of apology. Writing off legit criticism for dumbass behavior as “haters” is pretty despicable.

We need to show a healthy respect for these boats we are piloting. Any body with the money can just go out and buy a 70+ or 80mph + boat. If over trimmed in rough water 40mph can be too fast.
be careful and wear your life jackets and kill switches.

Ok first, who is he supposed to be apologizing to?
Second, who called anyone haters and last, who are you calling despicable?

Don’t want to speak for him but what I gathered in the other thread was this Britt guy was arguing with people on social media and calling them “haters” if they brought up anything negative about this wreck. So I’m assuming he is calling Britt despicable for doing so.

Britt on Instagram called everyone commenting on his driving skills as haters and dorks like he did nothing wrong in causing the accident. He also bad mouthed all of the other boaters for not coming to his aide afterwards on the water.

Ok thanks, I wasn't aware of this. I just couldn't figure out what Mcjenson was referring to.

Too bad the instagram parts got deleted I would have loved to read through the comments.

Al, I can guarantee you that many of us wouldn't have piled on if he would have admitted what he tried to do was wrong. This is his 2nd or 3rd video that he himself posted showing how inept he is at driving a boat. He seems to have no clue on just how lucky he was and seems to feel as if he did absolutely nothing wrong. He's going to end up hurting somebody if this continues.

the other guys covered it, but I was referring to him shrugging off criticism as “haters” as despicable. And I think an apology to mlf, fellow competitors and the locals at smith lake for reckless boat driving which put others in danger would go a long ways.

It sure doesn't sound like he's going to learn from this.

No it doesn’t and if he would just own his mistakes I doubt everyone would pile on. If you had a son that wanted to coangler, would you want him riding with someone like this?

No but from the divorce thread we had a few weeks ago I bet a lot of folks would be happy to sign their ex wives up for that:laugh:

Would make a great commercial :roll: for Ranger or not :mad: showing him going off road then fishing the rest of the tournament!

A guy doing the same thing as the guy in this deal, a Cobra coming around a blind turn into a navigation channel, I was going maybe 25-30 MPH Perfect timing for T bone. I never saw him as it was setting sun. The sound of that impact and fiberglass explosion is something I won’t forget. Lake patrol put a no wake bouy in that intersection shortly thereafter.

Wow, you’re a lucky guy. Could have been a very bad ending for you. Glad you came out in good shape.

Thank you, and I thought many times about what a couple mph difference in either boat could have resulted in. I was a very nervous boater for a while after that accident.

That would suck! No injuries from either boat?
