Is everyone alright? What kind of damage did his boat do to that bridge?

Yeah we where ok. The boat started to drift pretty hard so he got her off plane real fast. We where slowing for the bridge anyway. He was headed for the center then the boat started drifting again to the right and I saw him turning the wheel and nothing happened. At first I thought he was going to hang the turn and head up to Bullfrog then I realized he had no steering. We hit at about 25-35mph. It was a load azz crunch, made me sic to the stomach. Luckily the pilings gave way and bent down to absorb some of the impact. It broke the nose off the Starb sponson and pushed the center back about 5". All the damage was above the water line so we fired up and ran back to Disco with the bow nice and high. Some guy in a big cruizer gave us a nice roller to ride all the way in on. That helped keep most of the water out.
We steered using the throttles only the whole way back. All in all it turned out ok. Didn't hurt anyone and the boat stayed up.

Shouldnt you be working on your boat anyways,instead of getting in trouble with Carlos. Who said he was the one that was going to catch you.

F!!!! My fuggin car is on fire outside and I just saw a white Escalade with 21's rip out of the lot! Must be Tony :hammer2:

I finnished it last night, if I can catch up with Carlos I'm going to splash it in a hour or so. Otherwise I'll do it tomorrow.
