Agreed, but I'm willing to bet my caribe rib with 25hp sits higher in the water.
I followed a soft bottom dinghy with a 5hp today leaving the dinghy dock that was digging into the bottom. He left a highway of mud. My wife and I blew past him and his mud trail leaving narry a scar or a wake for that matter.

She must have another new captain as she's near Gibraltar according to marinetraffic.com and it would seem thath thculprit is standing trial in Provo. Since they let the ship go I would guess they are not going after the owner.

Re: Reef Decimated

Sink the superyacht: instant artificial reef. Leaving the captain locked aboard as fish food optional.
