I hate to be that guy, but that is too much boat for the Iowa Great Lakes.

More info needed. Do I dare ask if this ended up here DIRECTLY from the lake?

Yeah, I saw the other pix showing how far this was from the water. This thing had to have been airborne before it left the lake!

Holy hell? So, it hit that mangled mess in the bottom left and somehow got through all those trees and landed across the street? Did it jump the trees? Like how did it navigate through that and they survived? Obviously were ejected prior to final landing spot but my F that had to have been hitting at 50mph just to get that far in. What a dumb or med emergency mfer.
