Sinking Feeling (Not a low transom issue)

No question that it can be done. It's a lot more protected in there however than going outside of Straford Point in the tide rips. This particular boat seems to have fallen victim to a ruptured engine hose if I read the news account correctly. That kind of thing can sink anyone if you don't catch it quickly and know how to deal with it. I suppose they didn't know the water was supposed to come in over the transom and not bubble up from the inside of the transom. By the way, here's a courageous guy with a boat whose hull looks suspiciously like mine, braving the rough waters of Lake Lanier to bring home a fish. Same engine I have, too. http://tinyurl.com/359kzn Looks like he has the splashguard installed. If Waylon saw that much blood, he run sceaming. |
