During the running of the 37th annual Key West World Championship, Race 3 (Friday), CT Marine 18 comes over the top of CMS 3. Driver and throttleman of both boats quickly reported to be okay.
This is what happens when people don’t take care in their boat! I completely understand the enjoyment from clowning around. But, there is a time and a place. It is never okay to travel at this speed in narrow water, especially when you don’t know what’s ahead!
This could have ended in significant tragedy. Thankfully the boat veered to avoid me, but they could have been seriously injured themselves.
Tasha Hunt, 33, and Koyne Watson, 43, were on board their 1987 Eliminator Scorpion jet boat on the South Thompson River on Saturday when they saw smoke. They called the fire department and then started doing loops, shooting water with a diverter to douse flames and prevent the fire from spreading quickly.
