The boat had gone from Meredith Bay to Bear Island and was headed back. If it was moving it had a speed, we just don't know what that speed was.
We do know they couldn't see an obstacle in their path before it was to late. Therefore they were going TO fast.

There have been a number of people questioning how fast a powerboat needs to be going to cut the bow of a kayak off. I would speculate that it was not the impact that caused the bow to be removed from the kayak, but probably the prop cutting through the fiberglass or plastic hull of the kayak.

A Meredith resident is in prison right now. He was convicted of operator inattention because he hit another boat at night.

It's my understanding he's in prison on a negligent homicide conviction, that's a far cry from "operator inattention" wouldn't you say?
