As a kid I used to love watching your dad blast out of Loveladies past Vol Sedge in the Yellow Rose (our house is in High Bar Harbor facing the Causeway). I had a small 8' hydroplane and I'd cruise across the flats to try to see him since it was one of the few go-fasts on that end of the island back in the 70's/80's. I remember Yellow Rose, Caliente (20' or 24' Cigarette) and another Donzi 22 on our street which almost never ran. I heard rumors about your dad's accident but figured it was an urban legend until I saw this post.
I'm sorry to hear about the accident and I hope you can track down the boat at some point.
