Broadway Joe, the humanitarian...
TEQUESTA, Fla. – NFL Hall of Famer Joe Namath is offering a $100,000 reward in the search for two teenage fishermen along Florida's Atlantic coast.
Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos did not return as scheduled Friday from a fishing trip. Both are 14 years old, and they were last seen Friday afternoon in the Jupiter area buying fuel for their 19-foot boat.
Perry is Namath's neighbor in Tequesta. Namath held a news conference Sunday with the boys' families to announce the reward and appeal for information that could help the search.
Namath said both boys are skilled boaters. He said, "We've got to believe in their wherewithal."
Coast Guard air and sea crews have expanded their search farther north along the coast. The search so far has covered over 14,000 square nautical miles"

If they are found alive, both of them should be taken away from the parents for allowing them to go out there by themselves

How old should one be to go fishing?

I sure hope these kids are found safe. I can't imagine the torment the parents must be in right now

Out of that inlet, at this time of the year, the boys could have been targeting king fish and never lose sight of shore and or run along the beach in a bout 30 feet of water. Fished out of there plenty. Yes, they were in the ocean but likely not very far out unless they were targeting grouper a little further out.

I fished by myself at that age, ran our boat, backed the trailer, etc.
I hate that those kids are missing, but not all kids these days have been raised by crazy helicopter parents

TEQUESTA, Fla. (AP) — The Coast Guard says a boat belonging to two missing 14-year-old fishermen has been found off Florida's Atlantic coast.
Petty Officer Steve Lehman says the boat was found Sunday about 67 miles off Ponce de Leon Inlet in Volusia County.
Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos were last seen Friday in the Jupiter area buying fuel for their 19-foot boat.
Lehman says the boat was found capsized and neither boy was in or around the boat.
The boat will be anchored in place while search-and-rescue efforts continue. Lehman says the Coast Guard is recalculating its search plans based on the boat's location.
