Looking at the FWC pics at the bottom of the article, of the stratos boat after the collision, it wasnt just a tap. They hit at pretty good rate of speed. Front deck of that Stratos is crushed/cracked all the way from the top cap down to the ribs in the bottom of the hull. No excuse for not having a pfd on while a boat like that is running, or any boat for that matter. Prayers for the family.
