At the ranch in spring, we would call what is happening 'a mounting'. Clearly the boat on the right is the Stallion.

A coworker (before political correctness came in vogue) always said “I’m off like a prom dress” he thought it funny until he had a little girl!!!

What WAS the prom queen doing in the pilot house any how?
It was like the energizerbunny, it just kept going and going and going...

My Friend Bob, say it looks like they had a stuck ZF Micro Commander control switch for the gear shift. Wouldnt shift out of forward.

Tell your buddy, ON/OFF works wonders. At least the energy from one boat would transfer the other boat. In this case, they had no Plan B in the event of a stuck gear. I realize they would have crashed anyway. But crash and push the boat in front of them to the sea wall?

That’ll buff right out.
-or-
The big boat CLEARLY had the right of way. Duh... he’s the bigger boat. And duh... he was going faster. And duh... he had more people onboard.

Jersey drivers :yikes:. "Your stern damaged my anchor." It's not really their fault. The crazy infrastructure makes them bad drivers - divided highways, jug handles, signage from hell. Sign seen entering NJ: " NJ welcomes good drivers." Completed thought: "Because they don't have any!"

There was some footage from the dock showing the collision, Hudson currents are a little strong.

That's funny, I am willing to bet the Captain of that boat is from N.Y. On another note, here on the Jersey shore all the idiot drivers have that Empire State license plate on there car.
Don't know if you have ever been driving south on the Garden State Pkwy, toward A.C. check out those safe drivers with the N.Y plates.:yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes:
Just thought I would throw my observation of drivers in. I personally think most drivers in the north east drive like S#@T.
