Default Re: Destroyed 20', pieces available to good home.

Thanks for the well wishes. We were fishing off Butterball, about 200' off the point when a huge wave jacked up and broke outside of us, flipping the boat and depositing it onto the rocks upside down. We had been there for about 25 minutes without any sign of trouble...Very scarry incident. Eventually it floated off and ended up on the beach, where I recovered it. No serious injuries, but lots of lost stuff and serious thinking.

There was no railing, and all of the interior seats, hatches and console are gone. About all that is still good is the replaced floor and casting area, as well as the stock stern lockers. There is very minor damage to the bottom, but the topsides and deck are heavily damaged, along with parts of the transom. Not sure what anyone would do with the carcass, but it seems a shame to just cut it up.

Be safe out there,
Peter
