More than likely a mechanical malfunction. Speedy recovery for everyone.

Crazy... It mentioned they hit a buoy about 40yds away before hitting the dock. Perhaps that played into it? I guess we'll wait for the NTSB or USCG report....

I heard that the captains of the boat have been complaining about the maneuverability of the boat since the rehabbed it. Reportedly the removed 15,000 lbs from the vessel and changed the thrusters to props
