It's a wonder that boat insurance isn't more expensive.

It’s a wonder more people don’t get seriously hurt.

Greetings,
Those videos are of knowledgeable boaters under relatively (for that particular area) mild conditions. In those cases it would be fun, sorta. There are other You-Tube vid's of not so knowledgeable boaters under sportier circumstances at the same location.

Don’t you wonder how much damage to the electrical system all that saltwater is doing?

Not to mention the compression fractures...and the divorces.
You look at the people bow riding and see them drop 4 to 5’ and land on the fiberglass decks, agree compression fractures seem likely. And the small kids bow riding with out a PFD…

One of the wisest mentors I ever had taught me, "Fun may look different to the other guy."

And in the spirit of that video, a recent real world event:
https://www.providencejournal.com/s...d-portsmouth-rhode-island-police/10194552002/
A highlight: “Two boats sank, two operators were cited for boating under the influence, and two revelers were treated for injuries."
Plan now for next year.

We just had Aquapalooza this weekend. 1000 boats jammed together. 2 sunk, a few folks ended up in the hospital coupled with some arrests there was fun for all. It truely is amazing how stupid folks can be on the water.
We stayed far away.
