Its clear to me the problem...its those FOUR motors. If he had FIVE, he would have cleared the house.
🤣
😂😂😂👍
Yep, darn it. You got it. That is a good one, made my day, have a good one.
ALL ABOUT TRIM ANGLE AND SPEED BRO...LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Been a water rat my entire life. Around 1980 I made the statement that the only thing you need to be a boat owner is a checkbook and a cooler full of beer. Looks like that legend lives on to this day.
I’m a sailboat guy and my statement was, “All you need to be able to operate a powerboat is the ability to turn a key.”
Well, you can't fix stupid, but you can put it in jail.
Not much help when you have an endless supply of stupid.
Yup. Trump is going to jail.
nah...minorities are eternal victims in ameriKa and get a free pass
I live at the lake and can tell you that if you are on unfamiliar parts of the lake at night, it is very difficult to see marker buoys, especially when there is no moon. That being said, I don't go and get drunk with a $500,000 boat with 8 of my friends and travel around at 50 plus at night. My favorite wreck is when a guy picked up a couple of honeys at Horney Toads, handed the helm off to one of the girls so he could bandg the other on his 40 foot Sea Ray. She ran it up on the green of a golf course on mile marker 12. Good times.
Good times indeed
Anyone got the name of the girl not driving the boat? LOL!!!
Did she get a hole in one?
@@janetyurkin822 possibly 2 or even 3.
That's a whole in one.
Or a boggy, depending on how you score it.
Question: What is a safe speed on a boat at night or in low visibility conditions?
Answer: It all depends on how hard you want to hit something!
The night speed limit is 30mph.
I don't know, but I get real squishy when I'm flying - even at 20kts on a lake when I can't see in front of me due to darkness. So that means slow down. If I were the owner, I'd just put a motion detector our there with a huge flood light pointing in 3 directions off that point that instantly turns on and blinds the offending driver. Did I say that? I mean "warns" the offending driver. My boat had a radar on it.
Boats of that caliber usually run flir on the hardtop but it is operator error for sure
Alcohol, drugs and boats that go over a 100mph......
What could possibly go wrong ?
The strip is packed on the weekends. It's just crazy with all of those people.
dRumpf flag blocked their sightline
Darwin award winning performance. 🤡
Ask Alec Murdock 😊
Don't forget morons
Stupid drunks driving costs are 99% of the problems on the water!
Happens every year. Shocked nobody was mortally injured. Also it’s not up to the property owners to make the shore line visible at night.
They may want to consider it to protect their property.😮
Well .................... maybe they should do that !
Unfortunately it’s illegal in most states to protect your property regardless of the laws. You can’t fix stupid you can only hope stupid learns a lesson.
I am with you the state and county own the water that’s on the state .
Absolutely. Boaters are responsible who drives THIS close to shore+ at night+ drunk.
Living here in MInnesota, we have far too many drunk, inexperienced and careless people operating boats where people get hurt or killed each year. You can’t change the lake landscape and you can’t light up every potential problem area.
You learn to operate your boat responsibly, under the visible conditions allowing the correct speed and navigation required and the driver must abstain from alcohol consumption. Anyone driving while under the influence (regardless of financial status or otherwise) of alcohol deserves a DWI and loss of privilege. There are people whom follow the law and drive/operate safely. They deserve to have safe passage on the lake without idiots ruining the day with people such as this example down in Missouri.
Minnetonka and Lake of the Ozarks are very similar in that regard. I've spent time on both.
Amen!
Boat’s owner had more dollars than sense. Hopefully the passengers sue the rest of the dollars from him.
more boat than brains. I hope everyone recovers and takes this an opportunity to advocate for boating safety.
1200 HP on a boat that size is negligent. The boat was probably completely out of the water at half throttle. 600 HP would have still been a crazy amount of power.
Just the amount of speed needed to launch that heavy rocket over the bank and then 50 feet into the house hitting the eaves and gutters is insane at night. Friend or not I would seek the advice of an experienced injury attorney
Battleship in a bathtub.
Then stay at home in your recliner and fill your Depends....
Some people comment and don’t know shit about boats
Wtf do you have any idea how heavy that boat is?
For those saying that point was too dark; really? Almost every house I see on the water has lights on it somewhere all the time, even if no one is there. The culprit was speeding while impaired. Most of us slow down at night & also, navionics charts can be used on a phone.
A good GPS display (Garmin) of the area would be helpful.
I had a 18' boat when I was stationed in Key West Florida. Some of the essential things for night time navigation was a good spotlight with a wide beam so you could see the channel markers, A good navigation chart, a good compass and lastly the brains to slow down when looking for and entering/navigating a channel. It's a whole different world out there on the water at night.
I imagine the state could put up navigation lights to mark the peninsular land mass but then the captain/driver of the boat has to know what they mean and which side to go on.
Been on lot's of different water ways, some are good others are bad. Signs posted by officials are nice, but almost every year a river or lake can change depth or add new hazards. The houses might had a small light on the end of their pier. But, it's on you to know and control your boat, been on sailing boats with lots of friends and the theme of the day was 'beer'. I have hit logs during the day as well as at night. So, Godzilla can be a problem.
NorTech with four outboards, in a yard, after bouncing off the house? That's going to leave a mark in somebody's wallet.
Yeah, a carpenter bill before he even starts repairing the boat.
I live on the water and during the summer I tend to get off the water by 10 am on Saturday and stay off until 5 pm Sunday, between those hours absolute chaos. During the week, not usually bad at all.
Same here and I'll never be seen on the lake on a holiday. That being said, years ago I was on the lake in a sailboat on a Wednesday afternoon and almost got hit. Hardly another boat out that day but this guy couldn't see the giant blinding white sail. He came back to harass me after I gave him the one finger salute. Said he'd get on my boat to beat me and I told him not to make a decision that would land him in the morgue.
@@bill944dude I was almost ran over in the water after being done with a ski run and this dude had the balls to act like he was gonna kick my ass because I yelled at him…”100ft moron” is what I said. He turned around and well it wasn’t good for him at all
@@robertpoindexter8616 Yep. Blows me away when people can't admit that they were in the wrong and insist that the innocent guy was at fault. Children in men's bodies.
the mammonist have invaded loto
All of these excuses. The problem is a lot of money and no brains. Why wouldn't you run slower in the dark especially if you know there is an unlit hard to see point up ahead and for that mater if you aren't very familiar with the layout maybe you should slow down also. I have seen this sort of thing for 50 years now and it's getting worse.
Yep more money than brains
I believe the authorities asked the same of Alex Murdocks's kid before he was murdered..
If I owned that property, the shoreline would be dotted with solar lights.
If I boated there, no way would I boat at night without going slow and having powerful searchlights to see ahead.
It's illegal to use search lights facing forward while underway.
@@ChrisJones-nt1sy Better to be cited for that than wreck the boat.
Or maybe just slow down and keep sober.
Agreed. Most houses on LOO have blue dock lights but since this house has no dock, they should light it up. Speed limit at night is 25.
40 foot Nortech with quad 300's. Probable cost $1,000,000 new and can go 80+ MPH with that power set up! I'll bet the last few seconds of that ride was an oh shitter! Dumb, drunk and rippin it at night... What could possibly go wrong? The operator and the passengers will remember this for the rest of their lives and the lawsuits will go on for years.
No. This will get settled out of court. Shortly...
Boat acronym…Boat Overturned And Trashed
I have been in the marine field most of my life in one way or another and used to love boating and riding motorcycles. I don't do either anymore because I have to spend way too much of my time watching out for what the other guy is going to do. For boaters I will give the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe 1 of a thousand people know the rules of the road (water) and out of them maybe only 10% pay attention to them. Once upon a time when there where few boats on the water and a fast boat was 40-45 MPH there was a lot more room for mistakes but those days are long past. I can't believe I am saying this but maybe what we need is training and licensing like general aviation for boat operators. I can't stand the thought of the government getting involved in another part of our lives but it may be unavoidable to make it safer for others on the water.
Everything runs 100 mph now man,and all you have to do is have the money.Most people don’t know shit about boating and and cycling.Except how to purchase.Good luck and good health to you and your family man.
Wake up. "The gub'ment has always been involved in our lives. And thank God!
@@MrPhotodoc
Thank gawd they forced the shot on healthy young people. So “the government that governs least, governs best” is foolish. Got it. Btw, a kinda smart guy said that quote - musta been drunk.
Where I live in Australia, you need a licence if the boat is over 6hp, or can travel over 10 knots. Our accidents are not as spectacular, bit there is still at least 1 fatal boating "accident" a year.
You ain’t lying…I spend most of my lake days stressed out trying to follow the rules and not get killed by some rich asshole..almost makes me want to sell my boat
I know you don't have to, but I believe that if I was the landowner, I'd put some cheap solar path lights around the property to help prevent this. On the other hand, I just don't think this idiot would have even noticed them!
That Nor-Tech wasnt cheap especially with 150,000 in motors alone.
Just one of those motors is $30,000. The person that owns that boat has M O N E Y and they better have LOTS of insurance cause they gunna need it now.
Not in jail they won't need it
He can have all the insurance in the world, and they are not going to pay out on this one. Dude will have trouble getting any type of insurance after this act of stupidity. Insurance companies are re-evaluating who they insure these days. Sucks to be him. It's really sad that so many people were injured, hope they all recover.
Speed and alcohol say its not so.. REALLY I'm shocked!
Are people not using their navigation systems out there? In most places, the problem of how to avoid crashing into land was solved long ago.
Experts have found the cause to be a mechanical brake failure problem.
Yep. His pads were worn and the emergency brake failed. Too bad.
I heard he used the emergency brake! Just forgot to tie the line to the anchor!!?? LOL
Call me crazy but I slow down when it's dark and I can't see everything. 😊
Seriously- I hear boats up on plane and ripping hard in pitch black conditions. Not my style for sure.
Don't insurance policies void coverage if you were DUI?? I wonder if the driver was the owner?? You'd think someone who owned a boat like that would take every precaution to avoid damage??? What a mess!!!
CA driver? Do our state a favor and keep him there.
I would wager the driver is from ELK GROVE CA.
Sober residents blame the terrain instead of a person driving faster than they can see to stop?
Missouri residents have more than a DUI problem.
This is the lake where the most viewed RUclips viral boat video took place where the driver faceplanted and everyone on board suffered injuries.
Do you mean the one with the bald guy driving??? they looked like they were inside a cement mixer on high!!! yuk yuk.
Friend of a friend was onboard. Said driver was very intoxicated doing 70+mph in the pitch black at night... drunk, dark, fast. 3 strikes, he's out.
1st rule of navigation is reduce your speed when visibility is restricted!
The amount of ignorance in the comments is overwhelming!
How about requiring anyone who wants to operate a boat take a boaters safety class !
A $200,000 boat has gps navigaton on it. Enforce the law on the driver, Upon a first conviction, a person will lose his or her driver's license for a period of 6 months and fined up to $1,000 and jailed up to one year.
200K boat? That'll barely buy the motors. 1 mill boat at least!
that boat was waaaay more than 200 k, more like a mil.
That's a boat reminiscent of what one sees down at the "Inlet" on the Miami River & Atlantic Ocean. A lot more power than can be used safely in a lake
like this one & at night.... you see the results. I hope they all get well.....be safe out there! peace & GB ALL
WAVY Boats should do an Ozark episode
Yeah Scott, it's getting that way on the Ozarks(Lake of).....lol, it shows the money that's moved into this place & in the late 70's I would go
there & see virtually no body out there. Pristine shoreline w/ almost no buildings around the lake but now it's a circus. No doubt that this
group was partying hard in a boat that played a little harder than they could handle? I hope they're all alright. peace man
You say speed was a factor? No Duh! That's a 70-80 mph boat. I expect the boat would have had good electronics though that would have showed that point.
It doesn't work with lines in the road either. Nothing new.
Just because you have the money doesn’t mean you should.
There's going to be a lawsuit
I have owned speed boats and ski boats from 1977 until 2018 when I got into race cars. Raised two kids on the water. Never had beer or liquor on board yet ALWAYS had fun and never an accident. Funny how that works. Why does a $500K boat not have a $50 spot light on it for night navigation ?
how many people have you known in your life where alcohol has benefited anyone?
@@thomasjefferson6578 kind of my point my friend
@@TheProcustoms How is alcohol portrayed on tv and movies? Who controls this tv that pushes this degeneracy?
@@thomasjefferson6578 just like being hit by a train, then fall off a cliff yet wake up in the hospital with just a broken arm and bruises ON TV. TV IS FAKE , real DUI and killing is real life, sadly people can not differentiate.
What mile marker was this incident?
I have a 3½ h.p. outboard and a 5m mast. So far, I've never hit a house, not even a houseboat. 🤔
"We encourage someone to be sober on the boat." WTF?
what was the speed, anyone can estimate?
What about reckless endangerment, after all, there were injuries. He’s lucky he didn’t kill anyone.
the civil suits from the occupants will keep him and his insurance carrier plenty busy
Looks like a pretty nice boat with four big engines on it. I definitely think they should have some nightlights around this little part of the lake for safety.🙏
Got damn, that boat is probably $250K. They trashed it. Then again they must be filthy rich. Lol. Hey Mr insurance, guess what happened?😅
160,000 just for mercury quad 300s . Probably 400 grand for the whole setup .
You WISH you could buy that boat for $250K. Its probably double that.
Mr. Insurance man: Hmm driving while intoxicated? Sorry, payout window closed.
WOW!
They actually encourage having a sober person on the boat! Now they have gone too far.
When ur rich and or stupid drunk or not experienced enough to drive a boat like this, this is what can happen! I wish this guy had a video camera's on his home! Hahaha Hope everyone makes it out okay!
Wait... Did Marty and Wendy Byrde move back to the Ozarks to give us a new season?
Seriously wish they would
How fast do you have to go to make it over the rocks and hit the house. That was quite a bit of damage to the house.
highway patrol ? you'd think they'd have a designated branch/dept. that deals solely with water related incidents.
Technically the boat was speeding on land, soooo.
The Missouri Water Patrol was a stand-alone agency until 2011. They merged it with the highway patrol because it was so small, less than a hundred officers, but it was better prior to the merger. The two are completely different jobs.
Being ejected at 50 sounds like a quick way to see god, how did those people possibly live?
their god is mammon
Number one question of a new boat owner: "How do you start this thing"?
This would seem to be a result of having too much money. I’m going to write my senators and congressman and see to it that they confiscate all the rich idiots money and give it out to us poorer people so we can have some crazy fun too.
I takes a real idiot to go fast on the water in the dark.
Speed and alcohol involved…
SAY IT AINT SO!!!
(Shocked face)😮
Alcohol and speed? NO!! Gasp!
Man what a house!! Imagine living on that spot. Would hate to see the bill/lawsuit that is coming 😮. Owner should put solar led lights along the rocks. Very cheap and would look nice. 👌🏼
It's not the property owners responsibility to light up the shoreline for drunk / intoxicated boaters who are too irresponsible to operate their boat in safe and legal manner. They should have been motoring dead slow in the dark. I'm a lifelong boater and licensed USCG Captain in the PNW and have seen the bloody remains of this exact type of behavior, ejected dead bodies. Lots of booze and horse power does not end well. These folks are lucky they all survived and I hope the owner operator never is allowed to own or operate another boat
@MW-on1ft Did I say it was their fault? Maybe you didn't understand what I was saying. I realize it was the drunk idiots fault. I'm just saying if it was my property I would do something like that just to try to prevent idiots from running into my property is what I mean. It wouldn't hurt.
@@cwatson42785
You didn't state if it were your property You would put up lights, your choice if it were your property.
You stated the Owner should install lights, obviously from what you originally wrote you are not the owner of the property.
Also at the speed the idiot was going he likely would never have seen any lights to begin with. Have a good day.
Owners should have built a 10-foot lighthouse in the garden plus red/green nav lights on the water but I would say that because I'm from Scotland!
Just to add things like this don't happen here because we don't have lots of cocaine.
talk about a houseboat
4 - 300 HP Mercury Outboards. A little lake run-a-bout boat. I see over a million dollars in damages and losses.
ABSOLUTELY 😊😊😊
Extreme speed, alcohol and irrespsonsibliity resulted in 8 people being violently ejaculated from the boat nearly killing them.
"HUA" , (spoken / shouted), a Marine term meaning " Heard, Understood, and Acknowledged. Since the drunk guy is finished, let's now work on Jet Skiers. They're pretty much more dangerous.
I sure hope he didn't damage the brush piles around that point, Alfred will be upset if he did😁. Sure would like to fish with you again someday, Alfred!!!
Maybe if lights were mandatory for land that projects out might help
How about taking a basic boating safety course so you understand how to properly operate a vessel!
@@gordontomaszewski1420 that’s mandatory up here in Canada before you can operate a water craft!!!
@@gordontomaszewski1420 I just presumed it was the same down there
That’s like a 40ft Nor Tech🤦🏼♂️ At night please slow the F down. Night time is a complete different world on the water
that house is basically on an island. it should be required to have lightson shore
Captain error? Absolutely, , however that point definitely should have permanent lights on it at night. imho
It’s a shame he survived because now everyone is still at risk of him doing it again, and I have no doubt that he will do it again.
unless his passengers sue him into the poor house. I would!!!!!
Drunk is drunk boats and cars. Sadly personal injury happened. Devastating
@1:21 cant even ride a jet ski and enjoy your day without a selfie...
claim salvage on the boat, they abandonded it.
And people wonder why their rights get taken away. Next to come will be speed limits, horsepower limits and licensing operators. Get ready for it.
Oh and increased insurance rates.
Maybe they should have spent some money on a gps chartplotter. Not entirely accurate but i haven't hit a house yet.
Ruining it for the rest of us alcohol sux
I hope the homeowner and passengers all sue the owner/operator and manufacturer of the boat to the maximum extent possible. justice demands it
why the builder????? the boat just sits there till a HUMAN MISUSES IT!!!!! just like firearms.

Ahhhhh Lake e-coli in the summer. I do love it so......
Do I see four, 300 h.p. racing outboards on the back of that boat?
All that money and no common sense
Headway speed at night, fellow boaters. Be safe, this is totally avoidable.
Need tô have limits of velocity max. in places as lake and Rivers when other persons play with her toys, is an good start for safe of all
What a great home lot
Remember friends don't let friends drink and drive; they get drunk and ride with them.
Who TF needs a boat with three or four outboard motors on it in lake of the Ozarks?
Why don't they have lights out there? Oh that would make to much sense.
Gotta love drones. Best advance in news reporting in decades
it happened to me ones on highway, i want to turn into gas station at night….suddenly my rental car was airborne and then landed perfectly…. thankfully no one was injured, looks like i missed proper exit and hit road curb at 50mph
That was a expensive beer
There was an accident somewhere several days ago I saw the end result which was a blowover in an MTI outboard cat. All four men died. Maybe somebody here knows about it?
Flying cars
Flying boats
First time hearing this type of accident
Crazy
Ozarks have been going downhill for decades. Too many drunks with speedboats. We go the Wisconsin Dells now.
The police "encourage" a sober driver. Research the history of The Lake Of The Ozarks it was a disaster from day one. That piece of land looks like it not natural and ye should have warning lights at minimum. Perhaps best would be to remove it.
I wish a speedy recovery for those that are involved.
I hope the driver goes to jail.
That WAS one hell of a sick boat!
This is why I don't go there anymore , the ocean is more fun and actually safer
Big Big Big LAWSUIT
They never said if it was at night or when??... lawd
Probably very wealthy people. They'll buy their way out of it. That's why no names were mentioned
One time!!! He should never be allowed to own or operate a boat again!!!
Bethany on the scene!
