As someone else said, without proof it is just an opinion!

We could all speculate on what is going on, and it is just that speculation. My hope as someone earlier eluded to do, that this is an attempt to get the "get away" driver to flip, but it could also be the only charge that they have been able to attach to someone, on something.

The only people that know what happened that night are the ones that where on the SeaRay, and unless one of them points the finger at the captain of the boat it is going to be hard to legally get somewhere.

I just hope that who ever was at the helm that night, decided to spend their money else where and terrorize a new lake.....

A person can testify to what they were told. Things such as "Dave called me and said "Holy F*k...I just wrecked he boat...I had 12 beers... I can't figure out what happened...Come get me before the cops show up!'"

What is the simple assault charge?

In order for the owner of the SeaRay to get insurance to cover the damages to their boat, wouldn't they have to say who was operating the boat at the time of the accident? And if they couldn't/wouldn't say who that was, maybe insurance wouldn't cover anything? I have no clue how boat insurance works.

It could be considered a reasonable inference, a form of proof. I think we’ll hear sooner rather than later what happens next.

I see there is a Demosthenes Macheras who owns a house on Winter Harbor (with a listed mailing address as Pelham NH). And not too far from the crash scene.

Wolfeboro hit and run
 

The prevailing wisdom among posters seems to be that 'someone', and probably all the occupants, on the Sea Ray knows what happened, and for some reason each of them is keeping quiet. Personally speaking, carrying that "load" the rest of my life would be just too much - somebody is going to crack and the whole story will be resolved. In a way, I feel sorry for the occupants, BUT not for the captain, for him (her) I have disdain.

The registration apparently had an individual name on it traced from the bow numbers. That person may have been a principal for a trust, LLC or other type of ownership, and perhaps that owner might collect with a claim based on the police report. Unlikely, but possible. In any event if there is a lienholder, they get their money and the owner of the dock and other boat will get paid. The bigger the boat, the stranger the ownership might be.

I assume you're right on the insurance. But missing $10,000 or even $100,000 from the insurance company seems to be a lot less expensive than a criminal process/penalty/record.

May 17: Keewaydin Point rebuilds ... http://www.concordmonitor.com/Wolfeb...aydin-55129319 dock after August boat crash.

Yes, I saw the completed dock. Happy for them they could get it done quickly.

Looks like the offending vessel is being put in the water today...

The boat is apparently repaired and in the water where it got hit.

Yes, the rebuilt Hackercraft has been back on the dock for a week or so…

Yes, I was so happy to see it back in it's place.

Wow…this POS is actually back on the lake. Unreal.

Will the Dominoes Fall?
 

The article quoted in post #211 says an arrest was made of someone in the "rescue" boat.

:cool:

Any news on this? It amazes me that we are approaching the 2 year mark and little to nothing has happened in terms of accountability. I know that they identified the get-away boat driver from Tuftonboro and MA. Is this a case of a 2 tiered legal standard?

I do know that his insurance company paid out and docks and damaged boats were repaired.

As you said, they did arrest the getaway boat guy, and I always assumed that they would leverage him to get at the driver…but no idea if that is active.

From the rumor mill, the MP (and State Police) are still working this.
