      This is the most irresponsible thing I have seen in awhile. I actually thought that this might be about someone who had developed a remote control sort of thing, but this is idiotic.

        I didn't look to see if we could see his registration numbers..which are public. We should send a link to his insurance carrier/agent. (and maybe his mother...to show how he turned out)

          As Mattie said, I am alarmed at the thought that some kid might try this with disastrous consequences.

              He should at least extend the kill switch lanyard and attach it to himself.

                No one is that dumb. I bet he had a friend hiding up in the bow or in one of the storage areas.

                    I would bet this idiot was alone. They probably had some Indiana Jones-style plan to have someone from the film boat jump in it, should the guy fall. Some teenage kid will end ending hurting someone, or at least trash the family boat by trying this stunt this summer. So dumb!

                          Whoever said extent the lanyard was thinking on the same page I am. Not that I condone this tomfoolery but atleast have some sort of fail safe back-up.

                              Well he said he paid 160k for it so it must have the auto pilot option... I mean how else could you justify it?
