I've learned some interesting info from the "Why people sink driftboats" thread, but I'm a bankie when it comes to rivers. I do all my personal boating in the salt so I'd like to start a thread concerning boating there.

Why do people get into boat trouble? What are some of the common denominators when boaters get into trouble out in the salt?

I appreciate this site very much, I have learned a tremendous amount from others here. Thank you. I'd like to learn from what others have seen and observed so that I can avoid the same things in the future.
