My heart aches for this young boy and his family. As I posted before

Duoprops are meat cleavers that can do more damage in a shorter period of time than an alligator.

Even with the finest, most expensive and the most current safety features boating is a recreation that a matter of seconds stands between pleasure and tragedy. It is the captains responsibility to safeguard his passengers while they are on his craft. It is not my intent to place blame and I do not wish to do so, I think in general the boating population minimizes the risks inherent when you leave the dock. Once you have witnessed or been a part of one event similar to this one it changes your perspective and boating is not all fun and games anymore. Be always on your guard and keep your people safe, last and least yourself.
