That makes me think of the movie Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas with Johnny Dep. Those that have seen it may remember the line..."Is this not a reasonable place to park?".

It's amazing how slick algae-covered rocks let a boat slide so easily up onto them while put-putting at headway speed so close to shore.

1. If they were going fast enough to propel the boat high onto the rocks there certainly would have been more serious hull damage. When we see pictures of fiberglass boats that hit something the fiberglass at the impact point is mostly shredded. In the picture there is no real visible hull damage. 2. If they were going slow there couldn't have been enough momentum to propel the boat so high onto the rocks. 3. Since there were no serious injuries they couldn't have been going too fast. How could the boat get up there without serious damage? Can this be explained? |

No report required?
Remember a few years ago a couple in a kayak were run over between Shep's and Bear Is? Nobody actually injured, thew kayak was valued at less than $1000, so no report was required, although it was reported.
I owned both a 1967 and a 1977 CC Lancer at various times. Built like tanks. We know there were no injuries. I f damage was presumed less than $1000 (how do you know at night?) maybe there was no requirement to report? If there is no requirement to report (or reasonable thought) maybe there is no leaving the scene? |

RSA 270:1-a (I) reporting requirement
Quote:
The operator should have simply called the local police department on his arrival home to report the incident, and thus be in compliance with this RSA, in my opinon. It will be interesting to see how this investigation unfolds.... |

Good info
Thanks for the more detailed info, Skip. I guess we just don't know if the moored boat was damaged. Yes, he should have called Gilford PD or MP. My recollection of the reporting requirement in the Meredith incident came from a years ago conversation with a member of MP, so it stuck in my mind.

"Integrity" is doing the right thing when no one is looking, otherwise, there will always be suspicion of foul play. Perception is reality... I suspect foul play here. It's as simple as that to me.

Actually, being ethical is doing the right thing when no one is looking but you had the right idea!

I do not advocate boating while intoxicated but...
What is the penalty delta for BWI vs reporting the incident late? |

I think I heard that story before... Could be one of Ted's relatives, God knows there is plenty of them, and the apple's don't fall far from the tree!! The best way to tell if they are any "relation" will be if they get away with it completely unscathed... If there are any charges as a result of the investigation, rest assured it was just a "commoner"!!

WMUR today
This hit the WMUR news this morning. Not much info. Driver was a 58 year old man from Carlisle(?) Mass. who supposedly struck a moored boat and then caromed onto the breakwater.

We'll find out someday...
There are some things that add t the confusion.
Impaired or not, the events could have happened described by WMUR. My questions: 1. There's a boat at the dock. Was anybody home, heard the crash and reacted? 2. The accident was Friday night but not reported until Saturday am, right? Where did the driver spend the night? Is he a Lockes Island resident? He walked home? All sorts of speculation suggested and then deleted. I'll be patient and wait for more official info. |

Night time/boat crash/no way a slow speed put him up there. COMMON SENSE. I'll give you 2:1 odds. Quack like a duck..it's A duck. Kick like a mule it's a mule.. 1+1=2. Alcohol was a factor. So now I'm assuming you are not taking the bet, that's good I believe you just saved yourself $100

Agreed. I would NOT take that bet... Even without all the facts, you have to consider the percentages of these accidents that DO involve alcohol. Probably in the 90%+ range. Only a FOOL would take your bet!! What about leaving the scene of an accident. Pretty serious crime in a vehicle, does that translate to a boat accident...??? I would say the probability of this guy being drunk is about the same as Jefferey Epstein being murdered, 90%+... Will we ever find out the truth to either???

My opinion is something fishy happened here. Had no alcohol been involved why wasn’t the accident called in right away like is supposed to be done?
I’m sure they will investigate their whereabouts for that evening prior to the incident. |

I heard from a reliable source that the home owner was out of town when this happened, and that the driver walked to his house a short distance away. The driver knew the home owner and knew he was gone and figured it could wait until morning. He called the marine patrol the next morning after a little shut-eye. I've seen some additional pictures as well. The boat was removed with a barge & crane and brought to Glendale where it was re-floated around 100' off shore and trailered to an impound area. The hull appeared to be in decent shape considering what it had been through. Apparently Chris Craft made some stout fiberglass boats back in the day.
