Now, on to:

1) You're referencing a Fountain (?)
2) "Obviously did not know how to handle the boat" (??)
3) "Had the operator known the limitations of the boat this probably would not have happened." (???)

The fatality I referenced -- alcohol-free as you requested -- http://www.citizen.com/news2002/may/01/ap0501ac.htm is a Donzi.
I referenced a fountain that I had driven and asked for clarification on the type of boat involved, I was not stating that this accident was a fountain but was comparing the characteristics of step hull boats. I never argued on the accident but can attest that this was due to driver error, not speed. The boat can be handled safely at 70mph but was not. I am not disagreeing with Woodsy on anything.
