quote:Pretty much same story I heard. 5 guys in the boat, 3 were thrown into the water, minor injuries. Guy next to driver supposedly hit the center console pretty good and busted his mouth/teeth.
Well I got the story. 4-5 guys were fishing bridge Sat night. When they were done owner/operator turned on GPS to follow his route back in, but didn't know how to dim backlight on unit and it was blinding him so he decided to turn unit off and run without. Big chunk out of bow, another a little further back, crack in hull and LU gone. No injuries reported. Also, guy had just bought the boat from what I understand.
Word of advice to anyone running at night with a GPS or not, use a fricking Q-beam! They're cheap and will save your arse.
