Default 37ft contender
got this in an email

Check out this Contender that "ran aground". Boat was only 6 hours old.
Operator claimed he was doing 28 knots. Both people on board were 100%
sober. Cost him $10,000 to have Tow Boat US pull him back to the water.
4 tow lines parted in the process. MSRP on the boat ranges from $300,000 to
$400,000 depending on options.

No, If Ray would of nailed it we would of made it and I would not of had to push. I think he was worried about scratching the bottom of his new bote, but it got scratched anyway. Actually, if he would of nailed It I would just had to push farther.

The key......... never run at full throttle that way you got more to give when ya need it. So he says

Tide was up and the grass was wet with the morning dew so the drag coefficient was very low that day.

I think it was determined that he was coming from the opposite direction,and that those ruts were made from someone on a atv of some sort.
