That boat sounds cursed to me, sinking twice in a year.

Boats aren't cursed, people are stupid. They'll run up onto and over things time and again.

People drive their trucks into the surf. You think those same people trying to launch their boat and swamping their truck know how to operate a boat? Nope. Bigger boats don't make better drivers, if anything it's the opposite.

The second sinking sounds like a salvage operation gone wrong, so not likely to be the same group of people.
