He hit the island dead center. This not a reaction time issue. He was too drunk to keep a proper lookout and didn't see the island. I'm not convinced he was going all that fast. The fact that no one was seriously injured, and the boat is pretty much in one piece, point to a moderate speed. I'm guessing they find the boat in forward gear, and that he never even tried to stop.
