What if it is found that Captain Naut Guilty allowed his boat to be piloted by someone without a proper license? I don't know this to be a fact but if I were a betting man I'd bet that the idiot who had the boat motor running while there were swimmers in the water doesn't have the proper credentials to operate the boat. Further Captain Naut Guilty had an unregistered boat and he allowed heavy drinking on his vessel and many of the kids weren't of legal drinking age. These actions clearly contributed to this tragedy. Dave, I consider you to be the foremost expert on boating on this forum. However, I think you will be found to be wrong on Captain Naut Guilty's liability.
