Some follow up background information published today Sept 10, 2025 ... http://www.centralmaine.com/2025/09/...ket-in-eustis/ (link freebie 1st time read) ....... ..... on this Aug 30, 2025 Flagstaff Lake, Eustis, Maine, motorboat triple fatal incident on a Sea-Doo Switch 18'er. Looking at a Google map, the Pines Market in Eustis borders Flagstaff Lake very close, out back behind the store. Believe you can buy a tee shirt in there that say's "Get Useless in Eustis, Eustis Maine" when you stop to get gasoline and buy a meatball sub and a chocolate whoopie pie and a Dr. Pepper and a Maine fishing license. Flagstaff Lake has a lot of pickerel which are good fighters and run pretty big.

There's probably no video, and maybe what happened will get recreated using information from the four people who survived the forward flip coming from the driver and six passengers? Depending on the speed at the time, a forward flip can be either a gentle roll forward, or a smack-down forward flip?

Boaters in New Hampshire and Maine frequently choose not to wear pfd's when it is a warm day and they just don't feel the safety concern to wear a pfd when in a large, safe boat, or something, you know how this happens. Even kayakers/sups will choose not to wear a pfd in warm weather and it almost always goes no problem and the pfd is stored on the kayak/sup but not actually worn. Like, when it's 88-degrees and sunny, why bother wearing a pfd while riding in a 18', 2500-lb motorboat?
