Does anyone know why LaPointe was on the lake ? Was he visiting friends or does he have a place there ? Seems as likely to me that had he had a different boat, more "appropriate" for the lake, and then gone out drinking as he said he did I might expect pretty much the same result.

Then again perhaps the victims speedboat (14' with a 115 HP) might have been traded in for a poontoon boat. We could have had a small boat crashing into a poontoon at perhaps "low speed", certainly nobody could ever get killed that way.

Then again .....
