Cooper, the boat’s owner, had more than 100 hours of boating experience but no formal education, and had been drinking, according to the report.They say that as if 100 hours is a substantial amount of experience, which it most definitely is not.
Someone with that little experience and no training had absolutely no business going 50 miles out in the Gulf in a puny 21' craft.
Just because you can afford the boat doesn't mean that you know what the hell you're doing.
Truly sad.

I can't imagine taking a 21' boat 50 miles out in 14 foot waves to catch fish, something sounds beyond fishy to me. And I seriously doubt someone could cling to the boat all that time in 14 foot waves. 100 hours of boating time could be 10 - 20 nice fair weather trips. Plus, in the tampa bay area you have lots of other fishing available without venturing off shore.
