So we see the one mangled prop what did the other one look like?
I also wonder what the keel looked like.....

Hummm I wonder if it will still be at the Marina, this weekend I will have to take a ride buy and see what can be viewed...

The other prop is damaged but not nearly as bad. The rudder is bent and the boat is leaking slightly. Nothing the bilge pump couldn't keep up with when it was in the water. There is some keel damage but not as much as you would expect.

I am pretty sure the chrome piece and the cloth tangled in the prop are from the boat that got run over.

We saw the Hackercraft today.

The subject boat may be out longer than one thinks if it is needed in case this accident situation goes to a trial (i.e. evidence).

In any event, I don't think it will be back in the lake in 2023.

This one involved in the accident is probably not an early original but still the value has to be much higher...I personally would much rather have the Hackercraft than the Searay!!

Those figures came from auction sites. (and included a +).

Other figures can include "provenance". (Serial number 1000, once owned by Vanna White, Janis Joplin, Shah of Iran, etc...)

The late Janis Joplin's 1964 Porsche 356C sold for $1,740, 000 eight years ago. (About 13 times today's evaluations).

For the rest of the summer, a man of his means can't buy some other gargantuan powerboat to endanger Lake Winnipesaukee's boats and docks? (And cause the Lake's third hit-and-run?).

I can't imagine he will be using any boat for a while if for not more than a hit and run charge. They may even suspend his driver's license.

Word on the street is that the owner of the 50 left the state and is avoiding the police. It wasn’t too hard to figure out who these guys were.
Someone mentioned a company name owned by one of them, from there it was easy to track down. One of the neighbors saw the State
Police at his home on Blackey Cove and was asked if he had been seen. Probably fled that same night.

I have a feeling that Silver Sands, Winter Harbor and Blackey Cove will be getting a lot of curious onlookers this weekend.

In New Hampshire the open container law concerning alcoholic adult beverages in a motor vehicle does not include water vessels or a boat. Boating and drinking an adult beverage is legal. What's not legal is boating with a blood alcohol level higher than "0.08 higher by blood, breath or urine. Or between .03 and .08 along with other evidence."



So it is legal to be driving a motorboat, or paddling a canoe with an alcoholic beverage in one hand and the steering wheel or canoe paddle in the other hand, as long as your blood alcohol level is lower than 0.08, or eight percent.

.08 means .08 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, which is far from 8%.

Not a doc, but i don't think you can possibly hit 8% unless maybe while being embalmed.

It is confusing and illogical but a blood alcohol of .08 does really mean .08% as the term is used medicolegally.

Yup, but .08% is not 8%.

You are correct and FLL was not correct. OTOH blood alcohol levels medicolegally are not designated as percentages by custom. I just didn’t wish to make an issue of it.

Yes ....... well ...... legally speaking ...... what really matters here is that in this great State of N.H. ....... one can legally paddle a canoe with a paddle in one hand and an open beer in the the other hand ....... is named the beer stroke!
