Memorial Day night ... wonder if alcohol was involved? Maybe should put this on the resto forums ... anyone want to fix a "slightly" damaged hull? It was only a little tree that went through it!

Oh not a problem. A little 1708, some poly and gel coat and a little buffing and it is all good again. :facepalm:

Gorilla tape,yeh baby,lol

Wonder if that used to be a wood-free boat?

 

[charleso]

Kinda reminds you of George of The Jungle....."look out for that TREE!!!!"

I propose the first canada/u.s.a. law ,to be called the dumba## law.Those convicted will have to stand everyday for a set time with a sign detailing their dumma##ery.at the nearest boat launch with totaled boat in attendence for all to see.

Horrible reporting who what when where and how, cover that in a story before you publish it. Wonder if it happened after dark?

 

[ThomW]

Wow. Must have been half submerged and they were hauling a@#. Lucky no body was killed.

Yes, it was after dark ... I seem to recall it was about 10pm when the page went out. 4 in the boat, 2 injured and taken to hospital, one to a trauma center with non life threatening injuries. Other than that, I have not heard The Who or why ... was glad to see from the boat it wasn't ezmobee ... that is "his" end of the lake ...

That happened last week, just outside Vancouver, WA, one killed another one serious injuries, they hit a bridge support at speed, it was not a pretty picture, they just pulled the boat out yesterday and it was destroyed...

Wow ,if it didnt say it was a boat and being pulled out of the water that thing is unrecognizable!!!

 

[robert graham]

I don't really need to be out on the lake, river after dark....daytime is hazardous enough for me....lots of folks killed lately here in South Carolina boating accidents...

It happens in daylight as well.

Good grief, got enough engine?

he must have been 'compensating'

Sadly, we lose a couple of people each year on "the chain"

There are crashes or other "incidents" almost every week.

Rules of Repair:
1. If it ain't broke, give me a hammer, it will be!
2. You only need 2 tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move, and it should, use WD-40. If it moves, and it shouldn't, use Duct Tape!
3. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Reading this makes me appreciate my little corner of lake superior where 99 percent of the time im all alone with not a sole to be seen for as far as i can see and beyond!

Ouch. Looks like a Merc 525. What boat was that? Cat of some kind?

 

[jimmbo]

Is that boat one of those driven by a jet(s)? If so maybe the operator chopped the throttle or the engine died
