Reply With QuoteI head a little about it, 4 people were ejected. My friends were the one's who towed them in.
Did anyone see the boat that flipped across from The Palms on Sunday afternoon? My friends and I were leaving Steamboat Sunday afternoon around 3:30 and were the first ones to arrive. 5 people got ejected from the boat, no one was seriously injured. Not sure what size maybe a 32-36' V with twins. We rescued and rushed a lady to the shore where an ambulance was waiting she was complaining of chest pains and was having a hard time breathing. Anybody have any details what happened or how the lady is doing?

Mohave County Sheriffs Waterways deputies responded to a single boat accident in the South Basin in the area of Havasu Palms on Lake Havasu Sunday (9/10) afternoon. Approximately 4:16 p.m., deputies responded to the scene of where all 5 occupants of a 36-foot Cigarette boat were ejected. Everyone was rescued by passerbys. The operator changed the direction of the vessel and all occupants were ejected. Lisa Baker, 40, of Nevada, was transported by River Medical to Lake Havasu Regional Medical Center where she is currently listed in good condition.

Why? Size doesn't matter (as Im sure you know). A 38' twin step could spin and flip in a pond if the pond is big enough and the driver turns the boat hard enough.....

Didn't hear anyone say it was a twin step? If it was you would really have to screw up to make it spin.... Like maybe a panic turn to avoid something???

Your wrong, it dosn't take much. If it was a new 38' then I figured it was a TS 38'. If it was a straight bottom then it can still roll over. The news paper says 36' Cigarette "type" that means it could be anything, it could even be a 36' Gladiator with a side by side setup. And those roll easier then a staggered Gladiator. Who knows. It's a v-bottom, they roll over as well as cats. People drive thier boats beyond thier limits every weekend, just some get through every weekend and some end up on the end of a rope. Maybe the person got cut off and had no choice. Never the less at least they all made it out alive, you can always get another boat.
