Assuming there were no serious injuries, there's probably a good joke somewhere between this picture and the name of the boat but I'll let you decide.

But seriously can anyone tell what kind of boat this is? I'm thinking it's a Fountain but I'm not sure. Amazing that it didn't pitch off to one side.

Are there any statistics about how some boats handle an accident better than others such as in the automotive industry?

I especially like the name: Temporary Insanity II.

Wonder what happened to the first one? And how many times can you actually claim temporary insanity before we catch on? I bet that channel buoy would like to be heard. I wonder what he'd say?

Here's a little tip: If you see Temporary Insanity III gearing up for a nice run down the broads, watch out, or you may be next!

Temporary Insanity or not, they tied a line on before they went for help.

This pic has been going around the web for a couple of years now. It wasn't on Winnie.

Believe it or not but that boat was repaired and was listed for sale on offshore only.com.

I think that happened in '01 either Maryland or NJ.

Baltimore Sun: (Another newspaper reported it as a 42-footer).

"Near Bay Bridge Marina on Kent Island: Just before 2 a.m., a 1992, 38-ft. Fountain power boat slammed into a fixed, channel marker, ripping a 17-ft. gash in the forward hull & becoming impaled on the steel piling holding the channel marker. A passenger suffered a broken arm & lacerations; a passing boater rescued the two men. DNR police cited the skipper, who "claimed to have been blinded by the lights of a sailboat", for negligence, traveling at an unsafe speed, & failure to maintain a proper lookout.

Gee, even offshore....
