Re: Call Sea-tow
The Palm Beach Police department ran a 23' SF for many years with twin 235 Evinrudes. It struck the south jetty at Lake Worth Inlet one night, fortunately not while up on plane. It was left there until the investigation was complete the next day. More than half the hull up on the rocks. Big hole in the hull the size of a football. Ugly sight. SeaTow put a canvas patch over the hole with 4200 and drove it to the dock. It was repaired by Spencer in WPB in less than a week and back in service.
The memory still makes me shudder. I nominated that officer for the annual Channel Digger's Award in 1985.
