"HER WAY" Sank...??

[Joe549]

I just heard that Bill Tomlinson's boat "Her Way" sank while enroute from Florida to the 1000 Islands... does anyone have any info on this?

[MetalBrosRacing]

whoa!

[bluellama]

It did not sink at sea, they developed some problems enroute to the 1000 Islands, and it took on water in a Marina. Everybody is fine, and it is being repaired.

I was told that she blew a seal and started taking on water while under way and made it to a marina where they tried to keep the pumps going but the water was coming in too fast and she sank in the marina and was underwater for a week..... how much of that is accurate, I don't know hence, the reason I'm asking here. I figured somebody here would know the details.

Your detailed concern hints at you wanting to purchase it, would that be correct ?

I couldn't afford to buy one of the props, let alone the entire boat.... I just posted what I had heard and was wondering how much of it is true.

From what I was told (of course it was second hand) the owner had a new captain at the controls and he was unfamiliar with the channel/marina and they/he struck a rock in the channel.

There is no seals on the boat that could leak water into the boat itself that I can think of.

thats unfortunate, sick boats though!
