He had a rep as having a need for speed. There was another forum where the thread was closed because they didn't want to see him criticized. I hope dark would not play that same censorship game here. There is no way you can blame the crew of the smaller boat. They were anchored and not in a channel. There is no where else for the blame to be put except on OLaughlin and Shore Catch. Big money lawsuit coming down the pike for them. Sad to hear when anyone dies but maybe this could have been prevented. rip

"A man from the Colonia section of Woodbridge died after his boat and another boat collided on the ocean off Long Branch, state police said on Monday morning.Eric Kim, 31, died after his boat was struck off Long Branch by "No Surrender," a 38-foot boat piloted by Thomas Oloughlin, 44, of Princeton, on Saturday afternoon, said Sgt. Brian Polite.
Kim's passenger, Soo Lee, 34, of the Parlin section of Sayreville, suffered cuts, but was not seriously injured, Polite said.
Polite said police are not releasing the names of the passengers aboard "No Surrender," but did say that the pilot and passengers were not injured.
Kim may have originally been taken to Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune for head injuries. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The other passenger was reportedly in shock immediately after the accident."
