Just beacause you can write a check doesn't mean you should own a boat....

This person hits the Jupiter Federal Bridge not once.... not twice.... but three times????

Might be worth considering buying a motor home.

We stayed at the Crowne in Hollywood Florida a few years back right on the ICW - I was a bit freaked out by some of the stuff saw, but this....
 
I am praying there has to be something wrong with boat, captain is drunk or something else. I can't logically think this was done by an inexperienced person THREE times.
 
I would be scared to put him in a motorhome, they go faster than 3 mph.
 
He probably didn't see the bridge... radar wasn't on.

Poor boat. :(
 
That really sucks. Looks like the current was significant but the captain clearly got himself into something they were unprepared for. That looks like a 60 Sundance to me.
 
Interesting video. Wonder if the boat is for sale.
Our boat insurance has a clause in it that you are not covered if you do not have a plotted course. It is I assume to keep people from winging a course in an area they know or think they know. It is a pain some times but it makes one feel in control. We hit an underwater pile that was not marked. We had plotted a course between two points that was clear. Insurance had no questions once they got our report on the incident. Next morning when we left at low tied you could se the pile. Looks like he was not sure where the opening was in the bridge.
