My wife says this is what will happen every time we get into something more than one foot of chop.

Crazy "facts" I've heard about this accident:

1) The follow helicopter was slow on the start of this run, which probably saved the boat from hitting the helo (speculation, but the helo did seem to be flying low enough on other runs that this could've happened.)
2) They had the boat running and on the water the next day (this one is pretty shifty)

She must really have a moment of you catch any air off of waves…

Does your wife also insist that you "steer clear" of oncoming boat traffic that's barely a blip on the horizon? When we first bought our boat, I considered asking Simrad if they wanted my wife to come show them how their radar should work...

If a man is in the forest, and his wife isn't around to tell him, is he still wrong?

What's the man doing in the forest without his wife? How will he get out with no one to give him directions?

"But Ma! We won..."

The splintered hull part rather adds to the skepticism on it being back on the water the next day. Unless they used Flex Tape.
