Sure glad to hear everyone ok as well. We all know GL well ... so he will be back ... and prob STRONGER than before.

Does SUCK big time though

[BRD]

Get dry and have a beer Big fella !!!!!

[relible one]

Something like that almost happened to me when the top retaining ring came off the sea strainer and the boat filled up with water where the pumps could not keep up with the incoming water,did not show much on the gages(water pressure just a little lower)But when the oil pressure went to zero because oil pump belt came off,wasnt far from a travel lift....Hope all works out!..Can see another sea tow thread starting!....Bob

as long as everyone is ok, all that really matters, but still sucks to see a great boat underwater

[glh]

All set the Doc & me. Something around the starboard pickup let go is my guess. Water eventually overwellmed the bilge pumps. We will know more once the boat is brought back and taken out. Jumped on the Coast Guard boat once the rear vents went under. Boat was resting stern in sand nose sticking out as the picture shows.

Glad you're okay GL. Too bad the boat is all wet. Hopefully just a good drying and things will be fine......

Keep us informed.

[Chris]

Damn dude?!! I'm so sorry to see that. I can't even imagine the thoughts racing through your mind. I hope the salt damage is minimal man.

What about wiring/rigging?

How is race and pleasure different?

[95south]

not a fun sight, glad everyone is ok, people cant be replaced, gelcoat and motors are always replaceable

Thats what I was thinking the salt F's up everything.

[Woody]

Sorry to hear GL. Glad you're okay. Hope you get DOI going again soon!!

alot less of it to replace, alot more simple rigging than messing with all the pleasure stuff. Everything in the engine compartment gets salt damage just from running the boat, the salt mist that runs through the vents into the engine compartment. Of course submersion is worse but its built for salt water running.

We came across them sitting a little bow high. We stopped and see what was going on, and as you can see they were taking on water. They're all fine. Nothing dramatic, just a breach letting in water. We just saw him at the marina. The boat's been raised and is on it way back. Motors being pickles tonight. G.L. will share more I'm sure.

[damdonzi]

Damn sorry to hear it. My stomach turned looking at the pictures. Can't even imagine having to go through it! Glad everyone is okay.

[cosmic12]

OH Man that sucks after all the great work that was done.
Very happy everyone is good though.
Time to tie one on tonight GL, but I am sure you will be back in a hurry.
