This accident was part of the testimony in the Moultonboro HB162 hearing. It happened in the spring of 1975. It was a Cigarette. I don't know the speed but obviously it was moving pretty good. The owner was the uncle of a forum member. It was talked about years ago. Try a search.

APS has been posting about this accident for two days. This is what codeman said about the accident yesterday.

I am not familar with this one...Sounds like your typical crap to me. Please scan-in some documentation of this revelation.

My question still stands. I have yet to see any proof which I simply asked for. I searched by your criteria and nothing came up. Why don't you just post a link and get it over with?

Was it a Cigarette or a Baja? You say Cigarette yet you have us searching for Baja. Did Baja even make a true performance boat in the 70's??? According to my searches Baja made their first boat in 1976 and the longest boat they made was a 19' with 170hp. Cigarette did make a limited production of boats prior to 1975. Almost all were 28' and shorter, and even the 35-36' model was probably no more than a 60mph boat with the power they were equipped with standard.

So the damage to the boat increases with speed but the damage to the people inside remains the same. I don't think so!

The links don't work as well in the old forum.

However I don't think that link takes you to where I came from. Give it a try.

(edit)

Sorry, it doesn't work. but if you fill in the dates on the seach page and select "All messages in the date range" it will take you there.

The Baja was another accident that lead to the Cigarette accident.

Maybe or maybe not. At a higher speed the boat may plow through the dock and end up on land, not killing anyone. There is no right or wrong answer, too many other factors come into play. A larger boat may not sustain critical damage and may remain largely intact, where as a small boat may be more likely to become a pile of rubble.

Found it, thanks.
