Stuff happens. Glad everyone is OK. Loved following the resurrection of this iconic boat. Hope to see it back on the water soon. Best of luck.

03-29-2010 04:15 PMThose two raw water pumps on the engines can quickly become two massive bilge pumps. If you've got ball valves on your pickups. all you have to do is pull a hose- or pop the caps on the strainers. Originally Posted by Geronimo36

As far as why it failed- maybe GL will fugure it out, but most likely the cause was destroyed in the damage. Sometimes it's a simple bump that makes a crack. At 120mph, that water is exerting some massive pressure. A little crack becomes a spot that lifts and then you have a barn door in a tornado. Or it could be dozens of other causes.
The only boats that don't break are the one's that stay on the trailer.

03-30-2010 09:28 AMEvery time I see a boat sitting on the pavement with no straps anywhere to be seen, I wonder if the guy would put an open bushel basket of hundreds on the roof of his car and drive around. Originally Posted by BBB725

If someone leaves their boat on the trailer because they're afraid to break it, they shouldn't have it in the first place!

I am a freak about maintenance and always worry about break downs. I really have had only one I don't run anything that has high HP, or anything on the edge you could say. I snowmobile and I go way over board making sure my stuff is in the best condition it can be same as the boat. But the truth of it is anything at any time can happen and I am learning that every day
