With his father's permission, a 14-year-old boy and his friend decided to take the family's small powerboat out on a lake near their summer home. The boy had accompanied his parents on the boat many times and was familiar with operating it. However, he had never operated the boat alone. After an hour on the lake, the boy was returning to the marina when he entered the 5 mph no-wake zone required by state law and posted at the entrance to the marina. The boy was going 15 mph when he entered the no wake zone and forgot to slow down. As a result, he was unable to avoid colliding with another boater, causing injury to that boater. The boater brought a personal injury action against the boy. State law requires that operators of powerboats under the age of 16 be accompanied by an adult. Which party is likely to prevail in this action
