4Fun, I disagree with your assessment of .11 BAC. First, the level was higher than .11 likely it was .15. Some people may be capable at that level in car with ideal circumstances. But this was boat not a car, it was dark, boats don't have headlights. There are no lanes, boats can come from any direction. Even the most experienced recreational boater has 1/10 the experience driving a boat as driving a car. You can't really use the same scale. In my opinion driving a boat, at planning speed, at night and at .15 BAC is reckless.

We have the exact opposite opinion on this
I have always felt that driving a car was WAY more dangerous than driving a boat drunk. Things are going by within just a few feet at 60+ MPH. Reaction time is critical. Milliseconds really.
In a boat its not really reaction time it's decision making capabilities. If you have to react real quick when driving a boat it's ALWAYS going to be because of a previous bad decision. IE: missed marker, lost, too fast at night etc.
It's just different that's all. Not really a good idea either way.....
