Lil' JBS Has Issues at New Orleans

[Serious News]

Some major issues happened when Lil' JBS decided it wanted to try a transom stand at New Orleans in the backstretch.

Here they were prior to the wheelie.

Not a fun ride down the backstretch.

In my defense, it was close to a mile away.....

Not a soft landing.



Look Ma, my motors are missing!

All kidding aside, not a good way to have your day come to an end.

Thankfully they were in a Skater, and neither were seriously hurt.

They do have a salvage company coming to recover their motors, (hopefully).

Talked with Michael earlier. They located the engines, but the water was too rough for recovery. The Sheriff's department have them marked. and they will hopefully be raised tomorrow.

Micheal said they raised the engines. The tie bar and the cowls were still attached.

They got the engines back to the marina, but the crane operator had left and so they had to wait until tomorrow to get the engines out of the water and can start the repairs.

I'll keep you filled in as I learn.
