It has to be the reason. It the only reasonable assumption. I think they were just over confident in "unfamiliar" waters, even though they are WELL traveled and well experienced. I don't think they were careless, per se, but more over confident. If the radar wasn't functioning, they should have slowed it down. They had to be hauling arse to do the amount of damage they did to the bow, which I think is generally the strongest part of a v hull boat. They peeled it in 5+ feet.
Terrible tragedy. And it's possible that even at slow speeds the guy still falls out the bow upon impact. If you hit your head hard enough to get knocked out with no life vest, you WILL drown before anyone can get to you. You may be unconscious but your body is still breathing. A couple gulps of water before your brain wakes up and you sink rather quickly, never to be seen again.
