I believe that the captain started to try to steer into the waves from this speedboat. When he turned, the left side of our boat, and the front of the boat, started to take on water. This caused the boat to roll over very quickly, throwing everyone into the water. (Quote by - Russell Quick)

I took it from the AC Acts. I like change and taking people out of the comfort zone. It makes them better. If two boats are fun, six boats are a show. I have always thought it was a waste of great talent to have 6 of the 10 sitting around with nothing to do on the last day. Now they will have fun, fight for money and provide a greater spectacle. (Quote by - Randy Smith)

We have had a few minor boating accidents, including one after the Jimmy Buffett concert (at Riverbend Music Center Aug. 21), but nothing serious. (Quote by - Frank Floyd)

The important aspect of this show is the number of boats. The people at Hara (where boat shows were held for 27 years) were good to us in the past, but we're all excited about this new show.
