Yes .. such a sad tragedy. Consenses it was not driver error, but a mechanical failure or poss seizure of 1 engine. Ongoing investigation still.

Either way it is awful.

So sad to see and thoughts and prayers go out to their families. I was at the LOTO’s shootout the year the founder of outer limits flipped and passed away. I love those big cat boats and drool all over them. But you have to have some serious guts to get behind the wheel or throttles of one.
