Phew brother glad you’re ok. As a bass boat operator of nearly 30 years I for one can say I NEVER operate at unsafe speeds in creeks or especially when running into the sun because, well you can’t see anything. It doesn’t matter what type of boat someone is driving there’s always going to be people who think they are the only ones on the water etc. I teach my nephews that you always have TO LOOK OUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE constantly scanning the water ahead of you .
with all the new boaters on the water over the last two years it’s definitely gotten crazier.
