There is apparently a hole in the bow. This happened at one of the largest tides of the year. No matter what, there will be some dragging involved, maybe into the mouth of a big landing craft. There is a little more info on Alaska outdoors forums, power boating. A couple more pics too.

Years ago the police could usually tell if a driver was on Qualudes as the accident scenes never had skid marks. The thought was the driver just said oh wow and crashed never thinking to hit the brakes or turn the wheel. Let us not forget this is another wonderful thing about boating I never thought of before; boats don't leave skid marks. With the exception of some maybe in the captains shorts as he awakened to loud noises indicating something was going a miss. Mr. Green There has to more to this story. Nobody knew el capitan was tired? Can't wait for the real whole story.

It looks like a newer 22 to me. It's got an EFI Honda 90, which I think was introduced in 2007, so it's either an older boat repowered or a fairly new model.

I'll be very interested to hear a fuller story about what happened, how fast they were going when they hit the rocks, and what type of damage was sustained. Glad everyone was OK!


Look at the cabin top- Definately a Venture series, probably 23.

Yep, it is definitely a 23 Venture. The newer pictures on the other forum make that clear.
