I'm glad they were both found so their families have closure and can lay them to rest. Being a lifelong boater, I'm very curious what happened here but, sadly, I don't think we'll ever know.

I’d like to hear the investigator’s conclusion. I think they may have cell phone data that could help with a final timeline. Clearly there was a mechanical problem, but maybe they learned more from the previously mentioned photos?

My thoughts are with both families, such a tragedy.
